New Thought On An Old Idea ( 14 )

And now, a chocolate bar is between 69 and 99 cents or even the king size for 1.49...penny candy? 5 cents each? I remember cinnamon bears in the 50s for 2 for a penny.

I loved those wax bottles, but wouldn't touch em now. I think we bought some 10 years ago, 12 for 3.99.

Thanks for the memories, George. Sigh.

Kathryn,

Money ain't what it used to be, but work is more than it ever was.

Marilyn,

The price of fun has gone up.

so true and so sad...

Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm all ready up and gone
Lord I am so tired
How long can this go on?

The value of our money has nothing to do with the value of the goods. When we took our money of the gold standard is when it really started to tank. The Federal Reserve is a fraud against the American people.

Money, it's a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise it's no surprise that they're
giving none away

D.B.D.,

We're so busy, these days, making money that we don't have the time to stop an think about the value we're getting back for the effort we put in. In other words, we are so busy shoveling coal into the boiler of the locomotive so it can go faster and faster that we've lost track of where the train is going.

We're so busy, these days, making money that we don't have

Thats the key George. Since the 30's the Gold Standard was under fire by the Motgans and Rockefellers. we're busy making money we don't have. It's as simple as that. Even the money that we "do have" is on loan. The central bank owns it and charges us interest on it just to use it. Contrary to popular belief the Federal Reserve is NOT a govt organization but is a banking cartel designed for the benefit of the elite and is instrumental in controlling the politics of our govt.

"HISTORICAL BEGINNINGS . . . . THE FEDERAL RESERVE",

From these references, it is possible to piece together the story. Aldrich’s private car, which had left Hoboken station with its shades drawn, had taken the financiers to Jekyll Island, Georgia. Some years earlier, a very exclusive group of millionaires, led by J.P. Morgan, had purchased the island as a winter retreat. They called themselves the Jekyll Island Hunt Club, and, at first, the island was used only for hunting expeditions, until the millionaires realized that its pleasant climate offered a warm retreat from the rigors of winters in New York, and began to build splendid mansions, which they called "cottages", for their families’ winter vacations. The club building itself, being quite isolated, was sometimes in demand for stag parties and other pursuits unrelated to hunting. On such occasions, the club members who were not invited to these specific outings were asked not to appear there for a certain number of days. Before Nelson Aldrich’s party had left New York, the club’s members had been notified that the club would be occupied for the next two weeks.

The Jekyll Island Club was chosen as the place to draft the plan for control of the money and credit of the people of the United States, not only because of its isolation, but also because it was the private preserve of the people who were drafting the plan. The New York Times later noted, on May 3, 1931, in commenting on the death of George F. Baker, one of J.P. Morgan’s closest associates, that "Jekyll Island Club has lost one of its most distinguished members. One-sixth of the total wealth of the world was represented by the members of the Jekyll Island Club." Membership was by inheritance only.

Gonna buy me a ticket now, as far as I can, ain't never comin' back
Take me Southbound, all the way to Georgia now, till the train run out of track

Unfortunately this train has run out of track a few times and "We the people" keep adding to it. Until we abolish this monetary system the American people are doomed. Actually the "global economy" is doomed. It is getting to the point that the value of the dollar is less than the paper it's printed on. It costs more to make a penny than the penny is worth. If you have a jar full of copper pennies the value of the copper far exceeds their face value. In all actuality a modern zinc penny is the same but it is illegal to deface and destroy money.

The FDIC is an even bigger fraud as when they have more money printed to cover a banks "losses" the value of each dollar is considerably less. It has a trickle down effect though as those who receive it first have "buying power" (govt agencies, banks, major corporations) but the those individual depositors, pension holder and the like end up receiving it when it s worth nothing which in turn causes the price of goods to go up. This artificial inflation is then blamed on other things like weather, oil, crop damage, housing, etc and never on the real cause which is the fraudulent and unconstitutional monetary "system" set up by the banking industry for their sole benefit. Based solely on the secrecy of the "Fed" and criminals such as Alan Greenspan. It's a game of "Simon Says".

When the dollar represents an amount of gold held in reserve its value goes up with the increase in the value of gold. i.e. If a dollar represents an ounce of gold and is redeemable for such. When the value of the gold rises to $1.25 oz the value of the dollar has increased. Therefore "buying power" increases as the prices of goods goes down. As we have been seeing lately even an investment in real estate no longer provides any real protections against the illegal activities of the Fed and the new legislation to "fix this problem is just making it worse.

They got the money, hey
You know they got away
