A FED note is a debt instrument. A debt cannot be paid by another debt. Therefore no debt has been paid since we went off the gold standard. Debt can only be paid in species (gold, silver, etc.). The FED system is a program of credit. There is no money in general circulation.
As we can see such a system is finally strangling itself on its own Frankenstein of credit and forever increasing credit. The spiral is unwinding. I dunno if there is a solution, generally. About all we can do is get ourselves, individually, weaned from that system and onto something akin to e-gold. Then property rights are reaffirmed and property can be exchanged for property instead of fictious credit for claims on property. -- Life, Love and Laughter, Dale Pond Sympathetic Vibratory Physics Sacred Science - Sacred Life http://www.svpvril.com SVP Discussion Forum: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/svpvril/ --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did you know that e-metal is a wonderful holiday gift?
