F. D. Roosevelt - Eliminating The Dollar Sign (1941) Alberto Veronese 2017-04-16 | U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt formalized a way to assist the allied forces in World War II without technically entering the war. FDR had promised to keep America out of the war in his 1940 presidential campaign, but believed the United States should serve as a “great arsenal of democracy.” Lend-Lease authorized the President to sell, lease, or lend military hardware to any country he designated as vital to American national security.President Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease bill into law on 11 March 1941. In April, this policy was extended to China and in October to the Soviet Union. U.S. President Franklin RooseveltPress Conference, December 17, 1940http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/?pid=15913
Money, Silly Talks ... Alberto Veronese 2018-11-29 | it is necessary to have a clear understanding how money is created (and how it is managed by its “authority”) if one does not want to find himself in a “problem entanglement” in which “equal” things are perceived and compared as different with each other, whereby in reality they are the same.once one clearly recognizes the difference between real productive capital (non-financial assets) and money (nominal assets, IOU, f.g. a bond or a share of stock) it is only a small step to a clearer understanding of real world economic imperatives.the world’s poorest countries are at times required by the agencies of the G8 (The IMF, World Bank, European Central Bank, European Commission...) to cut public spending and privatise health-care and other services to secure debt relief.if the country being considered for debt relief does not stay 'on track', cancellation is delayed or withheld.... ... ...See also...“The String Theory of Money”, Feb 27, 2016youtube.com/watch?v=YlvX0kjDB2M“Money: The Missing Z-axis”, Feb 28, 2016youtube.com/watch?v=I3UiRzumOLE“The String Theory of Money”, Feb 13, 2016Tales of Money, by Alberto Veronesefistfullfeed.wordpress.com/2016/02/13/the-string-theory-of-money

First, the whole of the national resources, in land, material and labour must be fully employed. Secondly, a high and constant purchasing power can be maintained through good wages, social services and insurance, and taxation which bears less heavily on the lower-income groups.(2) Winston Churchill, election broadcast (1945)I must tell you that a socialist policy is abhorrent to British ideas on freedom. There is to be one State, to which all are to be obedient in every act of their lives. This State, once in power, will prescribe for everyone: where they are to work, what they are to work at, where they may go and what they may say, what views they are to hold, where their wives are to queue up for the State ration, and what education their children are to receive. A socialist state could not afford to suffer opposition - no socialist system can be established without a political police. They (the Labour government) would have to fall back on some form of Gestapo.(3) Clement Attlee, As It Happened (1954)It was clear that there could be no return to past conditions. The old pattern was worn out and it was for us to weave the new. We had not been elected to try to patch up an old system but to make something new.

Monies Have Nothing To Do With Gold and Silver Alberto Veronese 2017-09-22 | Monies have nothing and never have had anything to do with gold and silver.... ...In 1848, when Switzerland was politically unified, the modern Swiss franc was issued to replace the local currencies (Federal Coinage Act of 1850).These Swiss coins I found in my wallet, are among the world’s oldest coins still valid today. To date, they have the same design...Since 2004, this existing pure nickel 20 centime coin of the years 1881–1938 has been withdrawn from circulation because machines cannot detect it. Today, the 20 centime coin is in a copper/nickel alloy. It is clear that the 'precious' nickel alloy could not has been a standard of value nor could it has been the medium of exchange.Changes in the coinage do not affect prices — the monetary unit is always distinct from the coinage...and the price of a commodity (E.g. gold and silver) fluctuates constantly in terms of that unit.We are so accustomed to paying a multitude of small purchases in coin that we have come to adopt the idea that the right to payment of a debt means the right to payment in coin or its equivalent— and further, fostered by the laws of legal tender we have been led to the notion that payment in coin means payment in a certain weight of gold.In all times, at all stages of civilization, the foundation of all societies is the "sanctity of an obligation" — the idea that to 'savages', obligation is unknown and only barter is used, is without foundation. "To free oneself of an obligation" and not "gold or silver" is the one property which all men seek, the acquisition of which is the aim and object of all commerce.There is not and there never has been, a law compelling a debtor to pay his debt in gold or silver, or in any other commodity;Tax-credit alone is money. Monies (credit and debt) have nothing and never have had anything to do with gold and silver.A "sale", is not the exchange of a commodity for some intermediate commodity called the "medium of exchange," but the exchange of a commodity for a tax credit.Switzerland is the monopoly supplier of ‘its’ currency — its "tax credit"...."What is money?" by A.

Jack Ma: Spend the Money On Your Own People Alberto Veronese 2017-03-01 | edited excerpts"Jack Ma: America has wasted its wealth"Stéphanie Thomson, World Economic Forum, 18 January 2017weforum.org/agenda/2017/01/jack-ma-america-has-wasted-its-wealth- Jack Ma, Executive Chairman, Alibaba Group, People's Republic of China“In the past 30 years, America has had 13 wars at a cost of $14.2 trillion. That’s where the money went.” “What if they had spent part of that money on building up their infrastructure, helping white-collar and blue-collar workers? You’re supposed to spend money on your own people.”"These 3 trends will define your future, says Jack Ma"Ross Chainey, World Economic Forum, 19 January 2017weforum.org/agenda/2017/01/jack-ma-three-trends-define-future“The next 30 years are critical for the world... The most important thing is to make the technology inclusive. Next, pay attention to those people who are 30 years old, because those are the internet generation. They will change the world, they are the builders of the world... Third, let’s pay attention to the companies who have fewer than 30 employees... So, 30 years, and 30 years old, and 30 employees, that way we can make the world much better.” - Jack Ma...Please note that obviously I do not own the copyright, nor do I have a license to distribute -- such material is used for educational purposes only; a "fare use" to provide understanding or give information for issues concerning us all.

Is the National Debt Really “Debt” at All ? Alberto Veronese 2016-11-20 | Don’t confuse national wealth (real assets), with financial numbers on a balance sheet. What matters is not if the glass is half empty or half full; what matters is what it is inside the glass.It is necessary to have a clear understanding how money is created (and how it is managed by any power whatever), if one does not want to find oneself in a problem entanglement in which “equal” things are perceived and compared as different with each other, whereby in reality they are the same.We are the government and the government is us. Though, we might take into account the possibility that we all have so far universally failed the mirror test…"Is the National Debt Really 'Debt' at All ?"by Alberto Veronese, July 7, 2016fistfullfeed.wordpress.com/2016/11/20/is-the-national-debt-really-debt-at-allOnce one clearly recognizes the difference between real productive capital (non-financial assets) and money, it is only a small step to a clearer understanding of real world economic imperatives.Money does not change hands as commodities are – the natural number for money is zero.Money exists only as the "price" of “something” produced at a given "time"; and it is always expressed in its "government’s currency".also look for…"The String Theory of Money"fistfullfeed.wordpress.com/2016/02/13/the-string-theory-of-money"Money: The Missing Z-axis"youtube.com/watch?v=I3UiRzumOLE"Money Is Not an Act of Saving"fistfullfeed.wordpress.com/2015/12/30/money-is-not-an-act-of-saving"Father Gold, Mother Money"fistfullfeed.wordpress.com/2012/12/23/father-gold_mother-money"Money, One of the “Dynamic Forces” that Act in Economy"fistfullfeed.wordpress.com/2013/03/08/money-makes-you-fly"When Man Accepts What He Has Been Told is Money…"fistfullfeed.wordpress.com/2013/05/04/when-man-accepts-what-he-has-been-told-is-money"How Much Money Is Out There?"youtube.com/watch?v=ceVpdpfVQ3Y"Government Debt = Private Assets"youtube.com/watch?v=0yNXmV8HoZw...
