Max Keiser does it again - on today's Keiser Report on the RT News channel, Max looked to history once more to give some perspective on today's situation. This time he brought up the name of Carl Menger, and asked the rhetorical question 'what would Carl Menger do?'
His guest suggested Carl would die of shock.
Well, I mean, given that Carl has already died and may, if we credit the religious hypothesis for a moment, be living in heaven - if he had the choice of remaining here while the Fed takes us all to its own vision of a kind of heaven for the chosen few, or return back to some abode in the clouds and to the sky above... The choice is clear.
Now this reminds me of something I often wonder about the modern era of religious thinking. With just about every other thing, one can locate a 'First Class' or Premium version or edition, except not with religion. Although maybe the muslims have this one to themselves with the '52 virgins' thingy. This at least must appeal to quite a number of men it would seem, who risk their mortal lives in various escapades to do with 'jihad...'

Travel to heaven First Class...
What does that mean? |
Still, it isn't really what you could accurately call the 'First Class' section of the religious airplane, is it?
It surprises me why religions don't realize they are missing a segment of the market.
Such was not always the case.
In the realm of ideas, we should consider all forms of thought - financial, economic philosophy, psychology, and religious - in order to get a full perspective on the society in which we find ourselves today, and the exact nature of the era that it exists in.
Yes, we have a lot of technology stuff. This is true. But there is a strong undertone to do with expectations of failure, and a lack of faith in the ability of just about anything to 'deliver.'
And it's a sort of circuitous argument to say just that 'money gets you money.' Carl Menger, according to Max and his guest Sandeep Jaitly, from 'FeketeResearch,' (who's a bit of a genius getting some intelligent words in between 'old Hyper-Max') would say that today's debt-based money has a certain illusory quality, in that it seemingly cannot buy production, real output, real employment, real industrial growth, and even for that matter, real earnings based on sales and sales growth in accordance to the number painted by the DJIA.
No, there's a 'thought' gap going on here. Ideas, thoughts, and I would say, particularly, beliefs seem to be on the impoverished side of things compared with other ages and eras. And yet there are so many esteemed authorities on various things who say the most stupid and incoherent and even irrational things and get away with it, which leads to this abiding sentiment in the public of doubt over all ideas generally as a result.

The Fed is a magic show |
One could easily jump to the conclusion that this is all by design - a very meaningful propaganda that goes on in official manifestos of anything, really - which demoralizes the public because of continual failures of the ideas once they are put into practice.
People regard themselves as 'realists' and 'skeptics' and even clever cynics, when they dismiss every idea with the baton of the evolutionary materialist, except the idea that existing power, existing position, and existing money prove the inevitability of the status quo, and the inevitability of public failure against the 'elite.' Which of course, is a word everyone uses now to describe 'them,' not 'us' - since none of us are the recipients of the Fed's (or in fact, Treasury's) trillions of newly minted coin.
You may have seen today's news item about the apprehended European ring of terrorists. And here, one may see propaganda at its very best. It is of course, nothing more than the fulfilling of the latest fiction story by the ex-spy Valerie Plame. It is a 'news story' straight from the plot line of her book 'Burned.'

'Vanessa Pierson' aka Valerie Plame |
Notice how this propaganda shows a success story. Terrorists, were caught.
Fantastic.
On the other hand, you're never going to see in the general media, Philip K. Dick's unwritten last novel 'The Owl In Daylight' in which his real life theophany becomes a fulfilled material fact (according to the supposed or originally proposed storyline) of people's lives. Because, as Richard Dawkins knows, there is in the first place, no such thing as 'Theos.' And therefore Dick was hallucinating or deluded.
Dick's story, or at least the one his wife wrote, or 'finished' on his behalf, describes the protagonist relishing a microchip implant inside him because it gives him a talent he wanted, but never naturally had. He refuses to have it removed when he has the choice to do so.
In the same way, I am of the view that governments, banks, finance monopolies, have all made, what is for them, a tragic mistake, in behaving in the way that we have seen them all behave. They assume they have categorically 'won' against the rebellious 'people' and can organize and manipulate and control them to advantage.

Originally, this thing had wings |
What they don't understand is that the human race is a failing species. It is its destiny, to fail.
And it is only the hubris of the 'elite' to think they are themselves somehow not human. They are human. Human people love to fail, they love to find an excuse in order to fail. They love to experience this 'cosmological fall' thing - the moral decay, the ethical incoherence, the fantasy of sacred cows... All this kind of thing. That's what they are like. They do it all the time. It's an inertial force. The Fed cannot fly. The US government cannot fly; Kennedy could fly and he was shot dead. What the rest all want to do is build bricks up to the moon.
Things are happening undetected by the 'elite' under their very noses.
Bet, on the failure. It is certain. But like the riddle posed by Phix, which is the name of the being which is represented by the hypo-style statue in the pic above, this statement is a riddle, and not one that can be easily penetrated. But you will easily understand it when you see it happen in front of your eyes. Because everything is easy when you know it.
