The money fraud!

Money, money, money is so funny in the rich man's world. 

Sounds familiar?

Well, although most of the world loves ABBA for their refreshing music, who would have told that ABBA would be so “right on” with this song.

Money has been the greatest "MAGICAL TRICK" (read DECEPTION) of modern history making Houdini look like a schoolboy. Money has been and continues to be the greatest illusion used by what now is considered the developed world to acquire and maintain a dominant power position and rule the world.

I guess many of you that have read this far are either thinking that I am crazy or curious for me to further develop this statement.

For those that want to bear with me a little bit more I will try to explain why money has been the means used by the "rich, developed" countries to gain their status in the world.

Ever tried to discuss religion with a religious person? It's impossible since faith is a fact to them and you cannot reason about faith. Well, money has reached the same proportion with the difference that it is even stronger since money does not know any religion, race or age. 

Just try to imagine a world without money. Try to make a case for a world without money or at least money the way we know it. You will hear laughs and will be ridiculed. People just cannot imagine a world without money. Money is like religion, it seems like people are born predisposed to accept it as a given.

I will not talk about the history of money: goldsmiths, “independent” central banks, fractional banking system etc., you can look it up on the internet but want to explain in a very easy and short way how society got fooled into believing in money as a valid exchange tool and the consequences this brought to society. Some also call it the “capitalist” system or the system based on capital/money.

Economy and finance experts we see in the mass media: television, radio, newspapers or even in our universities try to make us think that they are masters to a complex science. A science so difficult for the common man, we need to listen to them to have a better and rich future. We need professional people to take care of these issues so that we can forget about them. 

Unfortunately for these masters, economy is much easier than they even know.
Human beings need to satisfy physical needs in order to survive and these needs can be found in nature. Nothing has changed in modern society, we still need to eat and drink. Although we also have, let’s say, emotional needs since we are a social animal, primary needs remain the most important for survival.

So we can say that the human being looks to satisfy needs. Economy is like a natural science that evolved with the creation of society and humanity and concentrated on satisfying these primary and secondary or emotional needs. 

We satisfy these needs by using products and services, products by far being the most important solution to our needs because without products there would be no service and we cannot eat and drink services.

To make a product we need natural resources. Natural resources are the basis of any product. It is impossible to have a product if we do not use natural resources. We also need to transport and transform these products but for this again we need natural resources like oil for example. 

I think it is pretty safe to come up with the following equation:

NATURAL RESOURCES + ENERGY + LABOR = PRODUCT

We could even go further and say that in some cases, depending in the stage of value creation chain, we can have:

NATURAL RESOURCES + ENERGY = PRODUCT

Or maybe:

NATURAL RESOURCES + LABOR = PRODUCT

But there is no such thing like:

ENERGY + LABOR = PRODUCT

So we can say that NATURAL RESOURCES is the fundament to have a product, without NATURAL RESOURCES it is impossible to have a product. Thus we could say that the equilibrium in economy, where supply meets demand is the satisfaction of needs by the scarce resources.

We could argue that resources, is the most important part of the equation, since without natural resources there would be no products. ENERGY of course is also an important aspect and LABOR is the least important since there is plenty of LABOR available.

So if my logic is right NATURAL RESOURCES + ENERGY should be the most valuable items on the left side of the equation.

Let’s take the world map:
What countries are supplying NATURAL RESOURCES and ENERGY?

Is it safe to say that what we consider “poor” countries, are the countries supplying the most important items of the economy?

If this is right, how is it possible that the consuming countries are the “rich” countries and the supplying countries the “poor” countries?

Well, the answer is easy:

MONEY

Money is the scheme that made this possible. Money has become a world wide religion making it possible to reach “heaven on earth”.

Money has made it possible for developed countries to control the supply of natural resources and energy by bribing corrupt dictators, give fraudulent credits and other practices.

MONEY = THE GREATEST SCHEME OF MODERN HISTORY

Money made it possible to shift the importance of economy from a natural science to an artificial economy based on money where the financial world could become the power house. In their quest for more power the money masters created a Fiat money system that increased the artificiality of the economy making them even more powerful and therefore making the rich countries even richer.

Unfortunately for them and fortunately for humanity “nature” is catching up and the ultimate of all bubbles is about to burst:

“The Money Bubble”
