Wikipedia says that the rule of law is the idea that no one is immune to the law. After having launched our online petition Stop the Oppression of the British people, the first comment submitted said: NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. SO IT IS WRITTEN . SO IT SHALL BE DONE.
And thus we must trust that there is a higher justice beyond judges, solicitors and Court staff who have afflicted hardship, misery and injustice to many, many people in the UK. To get a taste, click on the collation of comments as fantastic reading of what UK citizens are thinking and feeling - a real expression of the current 'Zeitgeist' - the spirit of our times.
So how come that the rule of money has taken over the Rule of Law? Let me count the ways:
On the functionality of money:
1. Credit has become more or less identical with 'money'.
2. The importance of Cash has been lost.
3. The issuer of Cash, the State, has gradually given away its power to control the money supply.
4. There is nobody who issues "interest money", so people have to borrow from Peter to pay Paul.
5. "Interest money" pays for Credit, not for anything "real". Thus it bears no real value and only serves as the prime lever for getting a hold of the real economy.
On the everyday level of consumerism:
1. money is an everyday necessity
2. the necessity of 'making a living' is often so unpleasant that lots of people dream of enough money to retire and become more greedy than necessary
3. men are competitive by nature and like to show off with bigger cars, bigger houses, bigger boats, etc.
4. women like to enjoy luxury goods that men buy them
On the level of central banking:
The Bank of England has gradually increased its share of supplying Credit into the money supply. Look at the two graphs on this blog entry.
On the level of banking:
1. All institutions in the financial industry keep adding Credit to the money supply.
2. Bankers have always more money to pay lobbyists and lawyers to defend their interests than any of their potential adversaries.
Money rules the world
Until the financial crisis, the banking industry has been valued and admired. It controls the media and thus public opinion. Meanwhile the real economy suffers and is not told the whole truth about banking and the money system.
Lawyers, solicitors and judges always have to work with banks when mortgages are agreed. They therefore have always two clients, one who is financially strong and one who is financially weak. Guess who wins in the long run???
Some governments and central banks are worse than others. Some countries suffer more than others. But remember it all started with founding the Bank of England in 1694. In 1913 the Federal Reserve was conceived as a really exploitative banking cartel. See The Creature from Jekyll Island.
As long as 'money' is used for people to 'do their job', whoever creates money will determine what happens, via governments, corporations and the media. That's how thinking is influenced. That's how the rule of money gradually and slowly took over the Rule of Law.
Ethics, morals and our conscience could rule the world
As individuals, we can only hope to do our best within a system that is rotten to its core. Dishonest Money breeds dishonest people. But we do have a conscience!
The rule of money can only be overcome by the moral authority of our conscience.
The Rule of Law can be reinstated by honest people at the top of trees. Hence we keep trying to appeal to them. Our online petition Stop the Oppression of the British people shows that we are not alone. Maybe the time has come to bring about change? Maybe the BlogPaper will contribute to this change of public opinion?
