Money Defined ... There is Real Money and there is Fiat Money. Real money: Real money is a commodity that has an intrinsic value. It's a commodity that has three attributes: 1) It's an accepted medium of exchange, 2) It's a stable storage of wealth, and 3) It's a consistent measure of value. Real money has value in and of itself, such as gold, silver, goats, cattle, or sheep. Goats, cattle, and sheep have gone out of favor as money because they are a rather poor storage of wealth and cumbersome as a medium of exchange. The two most common and most ideal commodities that serve all three functions of money are gold and silver. Fiat Money Make-Believe Money ... Fiat Money: Fiat money is also known as "Make-believe money." Fiat money is a piece of paper such as the dollar bills in your wallet. Those pieces of paper have value only because someone else will accept them in exchange for goods and/or services. In and of themselves, they have no value. Essentially, fiat money is a promise to pay and its value is only as good as the promise behind it. Today, it's often not even a piece of paper, rather its a bookkeeper's entry in a computer-generated ledger that exist only in that make-believe land called cyberspace. At the risk of repeating myself: Its value is only as good as the promise behind it. Fiat Money -- An Analogy: Within the famous board game called "Monopoly," there is a money system. There are little pieces of paper with numbers on them -- 5 -- 10 -- 20 -- 50 -- 100. These little pieces of paper represent money within the game, but outside the game, they are essentially worthless, unless you are desperate for note paper, or for toilet paper or you want to start a fire. It's obviously Make-believe money. You wouldn't go to the store and expect to pay for your groceries with monopoly money. It's valuable is within the game only, and it's only valuable because other player in that game accept (assume/believe) that these little pieces of paper have value. Within the game called the American Economy, fiat money is exactly the same as Monopoly money is within the game called Monopoly. It's Make-believe money! Fiat Money -- A Con Artist's Tool: Fiat money is a major tool of the moneyed elite who are in control of and dominate our so-called free country. It's the dominator- manipulators' way of creating slaves -- economic slaves -- economic slaves who think they are free. Remember the two golden rules of the dominator/manipulators -- "He who controls the gold rules." and "Beliefs are far stronger and more effective prisons than anything made of stone and steel." Fiat money is a great con artist tool because those who control the government can arbitrarily increase its quantity by printing as much as they want or simply add numbers in a computer ledger. In so doing, they manipulate its value; they spend it without first earning it, steal the value out of it, secretly raise taxes with it, and manipulate the public with it. |

. Money and Freedom Money and freedom are related like one's left hand and right hand. They are both part of the same structure. They functional inter-dependently, they are quasi-interchangeable, but one without the other leaves the person at a serious disadvantage. Money gives freedom and freedom allows the person to create money. (Please remember that real money is simply a form of goods and services.) . |

First off,
readers must understand that, in
its traditional form, money was
simply a convenient form of
goods and services.
In other words, it had intrinsic
value. In and of
itself, it had a use, a value,
and a purpose.
It was a commodity that had
three attributes: A commodity, by definition, is something that, in and of itself has value. Sheep, cattle, gold, silver, gems, land and the like are commodities. Sheep and cattle were poor at storing wealth, land was rarely thought of as a commodity because it wasn't movable, and the value of gems was hard for most people to determine. As a result, gold and silver became the standard commodity used as money. In and of themselves, both gold and silver have value and a uses. It was, and still is, impossible to steal the value out of either gold or silver. You cannot loan your car or your bicycle to someone unless you have a car or a bicycle. The same is true for real money. You could not (and still cannot) loan either gold or silver unless you actually had gold or silver. On the other hand, fiat
money (paper dollars, bank
deposits, credit card accounts,
accounting ledger entries, and
the like) are easy to
manipulate, to fake, and to
control. And if you
remember this basic truth, "Crooks go
where the money is." it's easy to determine
where the crooks are today.
The other great advantage for
the money manipulators is that the value of
fiat money is based upon belief
and faith. And if
you know anything at all about
human behavior, you know that
faith and belief are extremely
easy to manipulate. . |

Money is still functional as a medium of exchange, but it's value as a storage of wealth and a measure of value has been intentionally destroyed. . |

The public is still encouraged by the financial manipulators to store their wealth in the form on money (or money-based investment such as stocks and bonds) because they (the manipulators) can steal the value out of the investments and the vast majority of people will never know who did it or how it was done. (See the pages titled: Inflation.² and Why Your Money " Ain't What It Used To Be"² ) You may have noticed that the vast majority of the super wealthy have a significant portion of their wealth in tangible assets such as real estate, gold, silver, gems, collectables, and the like. The super wealthy do not put their money in CD's, bank savings accounts, or IRA's. Why? Because these ways of holding future assets are neither safe nor dependable. Their rate of return is dismally poor, and the dollars they get back at some future date from this type of investment (principle plus interest minus taxes) will buy fewer goods and services than the dollars would buy on the day they put it into a money-based investment. . |

Measure of Value ... As a measure of value, fiat money is about as useful as stretched rubber band is at measuring the length of a rainbow. Fiat money has , by way of inflation, been constantly changing in value, and the direction of change has consistently been toward a lower value. Imagine for a moment what would happen if the length of a yard (or a Meter) kept shrinking until a yard was only three inches long. Well, that's exactly what has happened to fiat money. It's now worth only a tiny fraction of what it used to be worth. For example, an item that cost one dollar in 1913, now cost twenty-five dollars. Thus, as a measure of value the current fiat money is very confusing. This is a great advantage to the money manipulators because the general public has no idea what's really going on. . |
