There is a charade playing out in Washington at the moment in respect of the completely meaningless "debt ceiling" which the US maintains as a relic from the days of the gold standard.

We are told that at the US Treasury's account at the Federal Reserve Bank there will soon be no more taxpayers' dollars, and therefore the Fed will soon be unable to make any more payments or issue any more cheques on behalf of the Treasury. The money has run out.

This is nonsense. It is a myth, and moreover it is a myth that Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke exploded in his recent testimony to a US congressional committee.

The debt ceiling is a myth because there is no need to borrow to finance public expenditure and the creation of public assets. As Ron Paul points out, the Fed - which is ludicrously receiving interest from the Treasury in order to pay it right back again as profit - could actually waive or tear up the US$1.6 trillion Treasury debt it has bought through quantitative easing (QE), and it would make precisely no difference other than to reduce the National Debt at a stroke by that amount.

"...all of the equations in neoclassical economics are rubbish. The differential equations describe nothing. Economics is not about mathematics, it is about the human being." Sandeep Jaitly

The fact that you not only accept such nonsense as truth,but even think it is profound truth says a lot about you.

Economics is one of the "soft" social sciences. It is by definition, about human behavior.

Engineering is a "hard" physical science. It is about stuff and how stuff works. Human beings can discover how stuff works and use that information to design lots of products that human beings use, but it isn't about human behavior.

No,it is about numbers.

If it were about human behavior,it would be called sociology.

You must be promoting slavery.

That's EXACTLY what she is doing. She's a slave... to the state. She worships them, and depends on the crumbs that fall down to her (admittedly low) level, to sustain her.

Ironic, that she fights and argues in defense of her masters, and boldly wears her chains and shackles...

MORPHEUS The Matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, here even in this room. You can see it out your window, or on your television. You feel it when you go to work, or go to church or pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

NEO What truth?

MORPHEUS That you are a slave, Neo. That you, like everyone else, was born into bondage... ... kept inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind.

Your mind is enslaved Eric, that's why you're so angry.

It was.

That changed in 1994, when I was able to see first-hand how much the MSM and nanny-state lie.

The contrast between the truth and what the people of the Western world are told, is startling.

Which leads to your second point- whether I'm angry?

Of course I'm angry... Because the lies have become so outrageous, so in-your-face, so obvious, that one wonders how sheeple like you can remain so blissfully ignorant, so happy to stay a slave?

You SIT there........ and you watch your CNN, you get spoon-fed your daily dose of pap by the talking-heads on TV, and you think you've got a good understanding of what's going on in the world... You move on to your reality- show entertainment, "Dancing with the Stars," or "Survivor," or "General Hospital," whatever bread-and-circuses entertainment satisfies your need for mindless entertainment... and you then have the GALL to tell me- or anyone else, for that matter- that we're "enslaved?"

Chayefsky summed it up this way:

"When the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome goddamned propaganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this tube?

So, listen to me!

Television is not the truth!

Television is a goddamned amusement park, that's what television is! Television is a circus, a carnival, a traveling troupe of acrobats and storytellers, singers and dancers, jugglers, sideshow freaks, liontamers and football players. We're in the boredom-killing business!

If you want truth, go to God, go to your guru, go to yourself because that's the only place you'll ever find any real truth!

But, man, you're never going to get any truth from us. We'll tell you anything you want to hear.

We lie like hell! We'll tell you Kojack always gets the killer, and nobody ever gets cancer in Archie Bunker's house. And no matter how much trouble the hero is in, don't worry: just look at your watch -- at the end of the hour, he's going to win.

We'll tell you any shit you want to hear! We deal in illusion, man! None of it's true!

But you people sit there all of you day after day, night after night, all ages, colors, creeds we're all you know.

You're beginning to believe this illusion we're spinning here.

You're beginning to think the tube is reality and your own lives are unreal.

You do whatever the tube tells you.

You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube, you raise your children like the tube, you think like the tube.

This is mass madness, you maniacs!

In God's name, you people are the real thing! We're the illusions! ."

-- Chayefsky, Network, 1976

You're a sheep. A mindless member of the herd, who takes what she can, and gives nothing in return.

May the future bring to you EVERYTHING what you deserve.

You are like a teenager who thinks he's discovered sex and thinks his experience is unique.

What you discovered in 1994, I discovered in the early 70s and countless others discovered before and after me.

Yet you choose to remain willfully ignorant.

And thus, you CHOOSE to remain a slave.

You are contemptible.
