The GREAT Recession  (read below) 

By P.R. Ancho

 Just Great

We give money a divine role in our society, like as if it appeared mystically from the heavens.  IN GOD WE TRUST, we trust he will provide more of this holy paper that is currently disappearing. We hear the news constantly pandering about the shortage of cash money and the national deficit, the state of meltdown, and the fact that budgets can’t be balanced, that we are the worst recession since the Great Depression etc.  Yet, many do not realize that the problem can be solved by simply printing more money.

 The Great Depression

I am no economist or financial advisor of any sort, as for my credentials, I will let logic take that role.  The Great Depression of the 1930s resulted conveniently after the large economic boom of the Roaring 20s.  Americans were investing heavily in the stock market and the money was flowing.  Then something interesting happened, the markets went bust, banks closed down, peoples savings disappeared and the government supposedly and conveniently could do nothing to help.  During this period of time scores of people lost jobs and ended up trying to figure out how to survive while scratching the bottom of the barrel.  It was not until WWII was developed that the war machine finally employed everyone to bring the country our the depths of poverty.  Convenient I say.

 The Great Recession

The Great Repression of today in many respects mirrors the Great Depression, but with a few added twists to intensify the bewildering effect of an economic downturn.  Today we have bad credit scores, bad loans, and a mired financial market to bring us down to new lows.  Furthermore, adding to all this, the housing crisis that has entrenched the citizenry in the economic pit of despair.  In conjunction with the Sallie Mae Bank of America, and Country Wide, the powers that be have allowed the swindling of American hard earned money through misinformed deals.  Researchers have called this that greatest theft of wealth since the conquest.   The poor and the middle class have been stripped to the bare minimum, all cash reserves and life savings have very much been disappeared.  Now here we are stuck with the mess and somebody out there has all the money.  Hmmm, and it makes me wonder why the war machine failed us now even though the U.S. is stuck in the middle of two wars.

 Great Logic

When we were born, we were born naked; all we cared for was who was going to feed us.  Somehow the system figured that each one of us was needed to be tagged like a dog, in order to keep us from going astray and maintain our active participation in the workforce.  Free thinking and free will are not parts of the planning or the status quo, freedom to be a consumer is (why else would you have a workforce, but if not to consume), and in order to establish this precedent we needed to be connected to the system via a Social Security number in order to be able to have an identity and be a functional citizen.  Here in lies the crux of the problem. 

 From the onset we are thought to pursue the all might green dollar, and establish all accomplishments based on this monetary value.  In essence Social Security does not mean security for society during our old age, but rather security for the system to retain us in line and blind to the reality of the economic chess game that is being played.  We are mere servants to the filthy rich and all we can do is pretend to be like them.  The rich produce and we buy, buy, and buy, and the debt grows forevermore. 

 The  Great Mighty Dollar

Money does not grow on trees or much less fall from the hand of God, even though IN GOD WE TRUST.  Money is made by a printing press and the secret powers that be decide how much of this paper to print and how to distribute it.  Power lies with he who owns this printing press.  Opponents will argue that the “system” functions through regulation or via checks and balances, and everyone is equally free to attain some of this currency.  Interestingly enough, some are really good at hoarding and amassing “wealth” while the majority is left to scrambling after the leftovers.  I dare to say that the 1% in control are regulating how much we attain and loose.

 The Great Truth

Money is not holy or by no means disappearing, it’s just printed paper, but we value it more than life, as if it were given to us from the hand of GOD.  The system is playing with our feelings when it comes to money.  They maketh it, they can maketh some more, they can taketh away whenever.  The purpose of recession or depressions is to drain the pocketbook, instill fear in us for the lack of, and force weakness which allows a certain psychological control in the great mass that we are.  The greater the lack the greater fear and extreme is the reaction, so we dedicate life to conservatism and consumerism versus the truth and free will.  We typically allow faith to intercede on behalf of logic and blindly believe in some sort of divine providence that will hopefully replenish the coffers.  That is what we are led to believe because IN GOD WE TRUST.  We believe that the system will take care of us and yet it keeps failing over and over. Dare I wonder if Atlantis is sinking into the ocean?  Or is Rome beginning to burn? Or did the “aliens” (no not the Mexicans or maybe we are) take our money?  Your holy dollars are out there somewhere, but not in your pocket.  But maybe if we pray, have faith, and TRUST, the federales will have a change of heart and print up some more money honey to keep you and I entertained.
