Bolivia?s Wealth

Evo Morales has the opportunity to enrich his people; the citizens of
Bolivia, and at the same time make the country a beacon of free enterprise
and capitalism. What! Yep, in a course that he is very likely being advised
to follow, he can place hard money in the hands of the citizenry from bottom
to top. He can advocate the circulation of silver coins in the economy.

Bolivia?s Wealth
Evo Morales has the opportunity to enrich his people; the citizens of
Bolivia, and at the same time make the country a beacon of free enterprise
and capitalism. What! Yep, in a course that he is very likely being advised
to follow, he can place hard money in the hands of the citizenry from bottom
to top. He can advocate the circulation of silver coins in the economy.

The simple act of introducing silver, along with the prevailing currency, is
being proposed for Latin America by Hugo Salinas of Mexico and it will bring
enormous prosperity to Bolivia and put the power (real money) directly into
the hands of its people. It was sound money that made the United States so
wealthy in its day, and England before that.

Few people know that Sir Isaac Newton was the one who came up with the
precious metals standard at the request of the king of England. It was a
great accomplishment with far reaching consequences and it lead to a couple
of the wealthiest nations in all of modern history when combined with
English Common Law, namely England and The United Snakes of America.

The biggest travesty with the present day ?Globalization? the world is
suffering under, is the disappearance of authentic money of value and the
domination of fiat currency in its place. Without sound money there are no
free markets and no capitalism. What we have today is Fiat Capitalism or
State Capitalism, which is a total mockery and the very antithesis of free
market enterprise.

In a capitalistic system no one gets anything for nothing, that is true.
Everything is exchanged value for value. As it is now however, governments
and banks (Banksters) get unlimited free money while everyone else has to
pay with their hard earned goods and services. This system enslaves the vast
majority of people on the planet and puts everyone in debt. You are in debt,
aren?t you? You hate capitalism? You probably don?t even know what it is!
Real money was taken away starting in 1933 and finished in 1971.

How does having a few pieces of silver help the little guy? Well it?s a long
story but for one thing he has a store of savings in that silver coin.
Unlike printed money, silver holds its value over decades and centuries and
more. Silver is unencumbered wealth. Bank notes are a broken promise, pure
debt and a lie and a fraud.

Then again individuals and companies from all over the world begin to cater
to the person who holds actual wealth and they try to please him and satisfy
his needs with their products and services.  Also he doesn?t have to leave
his country to look for wealth since wealth is at hand at every corner when
silver is in circulation. Smart people will figure out how to provide needed
products and services locally to accumulate more wealth.

Why should a Bolivian think his money is garbage when he goes out into the
world at large? Why should he travel with dollars? Why not carry money that
everyone on the planet will work for even though it has Bolivian symbols and
hallmarks. Why shouldn?t the average person have hard assets? Why indeed?

We are living on the Plantation and working in the Salt Works of the
National Security State (NSSA). Everyone is paid in company script and must
purchase at the company store. We will never get out of debt under this
system! The Oligarchs thrive.

Let me add just a few paragraphs directly from Hugo Salinas from an essay
posted in 2002.

?All countries of the world, with the exception of the U.S., are very
concerned about their exports. This is irrational and denotes a pathological
condition in their economies.

There is no country in the world ? with the exception we just noted ? where
the government is not striving to promote exports. Exports have become the
sine qua non or essential pillar of prosperity. We might say that the
?center of gravity? of each of the national economies of the world is not to
be found within each country, in production and consumption for its own use,
but rather outside its borders, in exports. We are, each and every one,
off-center and unbalanced, seeking the market for our production outside our
borders.  And we are all also unbalanced ? even in a psychological sense ?
seeking ?foreign investment? to promote our progress.

This aberrant situation is the meaning of ?globalization?.  Globalization
means that no country is solidly built upon its own foundations, but rather
that its center of gravity is outside its borders. Globalization is a
sickness, not a sound condition or process.

The cause that promotes this sickness is the world?s monetary system.  The
U.S. manufactures dollars, which are the principal reserve currency of all
countries in the world. Without dollar reserves, any currency collapses: all
currencies are paper and nothing more.  Dollar reserves are indispensable.
In order to have reserves, it is necessary to export more than is imported.
All countries in the world, the U.S. excepted, seek to export more than they
import.?

Good stuff about one?s center of gravity being outside of oneself! Tao
masters tell us the same thing. We are unbalanced, even psychologically, by
the present state of affairs. We are disturbed. Believe it or not folks,
free markets still can make an enormous contribution to mankind in the 21st
century.

Shhh. The Banksters and the government want us to move very slowly on this.
Why, we could upset someone with this revolutionary talk. It would be like
1776 all over again. What is the speed of the market in the 21st Century?
Goodness knows.

What if a Free Market cartel were to move in on Washington, like a sheriff
in Dodge City, waving the badge of the U.S. Constitution. Busted.
Ninety-five percent of what the U.S. government does is actually
unconstitutional, including this monetary fraud. A constitutional movement
could shut them down. We the people would discover we actually have a voice
in our own affairs. The alternative, after all, is to let the enemies of the
government dictate terms to the U.S. since we could not get our own house in
order.

Evo, Bambino enrich your people by legalizing the use of silver too!

Last but not least here is a quote from Morgan Reynolds (Former U.S. Chief
Economist at the Department of Labor 2001-2002,  Ph.D. Economist and
Professor Emeritus at Texas A&M University) in reference to the Liberty
Dollar in the U.S. ?we need a bottom-up, inflation proof, market driven
money, not a top-down, debt based money controlled by the power elite. Let
the competitive market in money roar!
