The Big Picture

To continue from yesterday, I discussed the impact of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates on various markets. When rates are raised, the opposite occurs. That is how much power our central bank has on our economy. Now, imagine the same impact on a global level. The World Bank and the IMF (International Monetary Fund) perform the same functions as central banks for the world. They set rates of exchange and oversee balance of payments of 185 member nations around the world.

The Federal Reserve is not actually part of the federal government. It is a private corporation reporting to the World Bank. By the way, so is the IRS. Both entities act as pseudo-government agencies for stability reasons. It gives peace of mind (or fear depending on the person) to citizens knowing that our capitalistic society is "governed". (Title 31 of the Federal Register lists all government agencies of the US Treasury department, the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve Corporation are not listed. They are also not listed on the Parallel Table of Authority which are governing bodies to each title under the Code of Federal Regulations.)

So when the flow of money is controlled globally and nationally, it has a direct correlation to how businesses and consumers respond. The price of oil and interest rates are just some of the key variables that they use to dramatically influence the state of the world. Their ultimate goal is to have a world government and complete control over all financial matters. If we ever get to a cashless society, they would control who could buy or sell anything. Naturally, credit card companies would love this idea. Controlling the rates of exchange and money supply is not enough for them. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Do you ever wonder why basic financial concepts are not taught in elementary and secondary schools much, if at all? Even at the collegiate level, you will not get much of the information presented here. The media including the financial networks, newspapers, magazines, etc. present volumes of financial data, but do people really understand the impact of those reports? It's like a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle that you are shown individual pieces. Does one or two pieces give you a picture of how everything fits together?

If people do not understand money, they can be easily controlled in how it is used. Is this the society that you want?

Then the Pharisees went out and laid plans to trap him in his words. They sent their disciples to him along with the Herodians. "Teacher," they said, "we know you are a man of integrity and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You aren't swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are. Tell us then, what is your opinion? Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"

But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me? Show me the coin used for paying the tax." They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
"Caesar's," they replied.

Then he said to them, "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's." Matthew 22:15-21 (NIV)
