many days from now, the headlines scream the "financial crisis". Wherever we talk about this, and make conjectures about what might happen or how to "save" their own skin. E 'have created a general alarm situation, raising the emotional level and spreading fear.
In reality the question is whether what is really happening for us all a "crisis." After all, what is happening? The financial system, which we know to be fundamentally unfair and fraudulent, is showing its flaws. But this
è un male o un bene?
Adesso mi direte “ma sei impazzita? E’ ovvio che è un male se rischiamo tutti di perdere i nostri soldi!”
E io replico: ma quali soldi? Nel contesto attuale non esiste denaro come valore ma soltanto come mezzo di dominio. Infatti, le nostre banconote, come ormai molti sanno, non sono altro che debito verso le banche che le stampano e fanno pagare pezzi di carta come avessero valore nominale più gli interessi. Gran parte dei nostri guadagni serve a pagare questo debito.
La domanda è: il fallimento delle banche e la crisi finanziaria potrebbero rappresentare per i popoli la possibilità di uscire dall’asservimento?
Negli ultimi secoli ci sono state diverse opportunities to break down the system, but because of fear of change were missed.
bankers are the same, to some extent (they are not infallible), or making it possible to cause the crisis, both through the mechanism "to enter notes or subtract from the market, both through the system of speculative bubbles. It should be noted that crises can even be used to cause disorder to the system through the fear of change.
In 1929, bankers, stock prices did increase, until they reached very high levels. The steep rise was intended to attract many people. In mid 1929, nine million Americans had invested in the stock market. At this point, the bankers had a vested interest in causing the crisis. The collapse would serve to claim a huge amount of goods (shops, industries, small banks, houses, cars etc..) Of those who could no longer pay their debts.
The rise or fall in stock are due to elements of an informative nature or psychological, and bankers can control and influence the news concerning the stock market.
In October 1929, the fall in share value, caused by the bankers on Wall Street, produced devastating effects. The banks demanded payments, and customers could not pay. The industry ceased production, and many people were unemployed. Small banks and big industries became the property of bankers who had triggered the crisis. Millions of people were unemployed or went bankrupt, and some of them committed suicide.
The scam of the 1929 crash had been well understood by Emile Moreau, governor of the Bank of France, on 8 February 1928 he wrote in his diary: "The banks had suddenly withdrawn from the market eighteen thousand million dollars, obliterating the openings Credit and demanding repayment. "(1) The bankers had acted to stop the economy, and this would also revert to the stock market. Would inevitably be a major crisis broke out, which took place on October 29, 1929.
What happened next?
happened that millions of workers lost their money and out of work rose, but were not able to take this opportunity to occupy the factories seized by the bankers or no longer recognize the old financial system that turned out to be fraudulent.
Some, however, realized the opportunity, and were about to organize in order to remove the old system, but by then the president himself intervened, which showed themselves ready to offer him a way out. At that point, it proved more convenient and reassuring to continue to recognize the "protection" of authority rather than hard work to demolish the power elite.
U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave birth in 1933, the New Deal. The new course was intended to approve a series of laws to protect the industry and the state social worker. For the first time in U.S. history, the government intervened in the economic and social life of the country, in favor of the lower classes. Were passed laws such as the National Recoveru Act, which included the law on industrial recovery, which was determined working time, minimum wage and the fight against undeclared work.
Thus Roosevelt saved the system, at the cost of recognizing certain rights to workers, which would have been dismantled since the early eighties by subsequent presidents.
The inability to change a hard cost to the peoples war where the usual characters you gave to be done to further increase their power and their wealth, against the people who continued to seek a solution to the crisis in the system that created them.
As many know, the world wars, have altered the company of European countries, declaring the triumph of an economic-financial elite, the only one that has huge advantages, further concentrating power in his hands. The middle classes, like those poor, lost their power and wealth, and were induced to depend on decisions taken by governments, which will increasingly become a mirror of the power elite.
We now know that the banking system, la Borsa e il sistema detto "capitalistico" hanno al loro interno aspetti paradossali, che siamo indotti ad accettare come "normali" o "essenziali". Sappiamo che i cosiddetti organismi di "vigilanza" o di "controllo", sono una truffa, in quanto lo stesso gruppo di persone è al contempo controllore e controllato. Le stesse persone che hanno il dominio finanziario si “travestono” da autorità che “tutelano” interessi collettivi.
Capiamo che si tratta di una messinscena, architettata in modo tale da far credere alle persone ciò che esse sono abituate a credere: che l'attuale sistema sia voluto dal popolo, sia a servizio del popolo, o comunque l'unico possibile.
Dobbiamo ricordare che sono le grandi banks to have in their hands the power of the speculative stock market. At least 70% of speculative credit world is in the hands of three major banks: Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs and UBS. The Exchange is a system with no logic: it is like a light intermittent irregular, who despite being controlled from above, gives the illusion of power to many players and agents. It is part of the game, as well as the make believe that there is a basic logic or rules. In fact, the stock market has certain rules, and actions are not related to the situation of the society to which they relate, or other parameters clear. Believe to have power by investing in stock market is like believing that the bankers are in the service of people and want to share with all the power. Sure, someone can make a buck, and this is part of the game.
also remember that, as many know, the Federal Reserve is formed by a group of private banks controlled by people like the Rothschilds, the Rockefellers, the Morgan and Warburg. When a banker dies or retires, the power is inherited by the next generation, so this small group of families exercising power for several centuries.
These people have the power to impoverish any area of \u200b\u200bthe planet, collapsing the currency or subtracting the money in circulation. This happened in Argentina, Mexico, in south-east Asia and many other countries, with the support of people who care to elect.
In 1991, Argentine President Carlos Menem devastating economic reforms, which worsened the already dire situation in the country. He promised the people of important changes, while in secret agreement with Washington to continue the economic devastation. In 1991, it will be even included in the Constitution, the exchange rates between the weight and the dollar, which will foster an economy based on imports. The economic situation deteriorated further, and were enriched only the few who had invested abroad. Washington gave the Argentine government billions of dollars to get him to implement other reforms in favor of the elite. The project was to bring down the entire system economico-finanziario argentino. Menem continuò a fare il doppio gioco, illudendo il popolo argentino di poter accrescere la ricchezza del paese attraverso la privatizzazione delle aziende pubbliche e la deregulation in numerosi settori, per attrarre gli investitori stranieri. In realtà, egli stava attuando riforme che avrebbero messo il paese nelle mani dell'élite americana. Le riforme, imposte dalla Banca Mondiale e dal Fondo Monetario Internazionale, prevedevano il taglio della spesa pubblica e il licenziamento di migliaia di persone. Il debito estero raddoppiò, la povertà e la disoccupazione aumentarono, e la classe media venne cancellata. A metà degli anni Novanta, nacque il movimento dei piqueteros (disoccupati), che lottava per il work, causing many popular consensus. The piqueteros make visible the people forced to sit on the sidelines of the labor market, which increased enormously following the reforms of the IMF.
In 1999 he was elected Fernando de la Rua, who promised to fight corruption and to prosecute former leaders of the military dictatorships. In fact, he is prepared to resume the previous government's policies, and to this end, he called on the government Menem's former minister Domingo Cavallo, and other supporters of the neo-liberal line, which continued to privatize and made cuts in salaries and pensions.
Following the line set by the IMF, the Argentine peso was devalued 70% against the dollar. Everything was privatized, the services (gas, telephone, transport, water, etc.).. Prices increased by 42% and more than 170 thousand workers were fired. Cavallo cut wages and pensions by 13%, and implemented reforms that made the collapse of the consumer, industrial production and exports.
reforms of the IMF had put the entire Argentine economy in the hands of private foreigners, who had no interest in complying with the requirements of the population, and even fewer want to sacrifice easy profits for workers' rights. There were deep cuts in social spending and subsidies in agriculture and industry.
In August 2001, the IMF did increase the public debt (which had been frozen), 8 to 14 billion dollars. In December of that year, Cavallo imposed a freeze on bank deposits, which prevented ordinary citizens to withdraw their savings from banks, while the large national and international speculators had suddenly withdrawn all investments. The many transnational corporations, which previously had invested in Argentina, the currency suddenly withdrew and sought refuge elsewhere, leaving the country in chaos. The New York Times wrote that he had been taken by the banks' $ 100 million a day. "(2)
Since January 2001, 30,000 shops were forced to close, and poverty rose to 49%. The Los Angeles Times, he calculated that the elite had disappeared argentina 106 billion dollars, hiding in tax havens abroad, and 30 billion dollars were invested in securities "untouchables," while the money of the middle class was severely devalued and frozen. Thousands of investors flocked to the banks before shouting "give us our money." The middle class, suddenly had become aware that the system does not protect fundamental rights, and that the Argentine citizens had to organize themselves into shape the country. Millions of middle-class people were not even able to feed themselves, and were added to the millions of poor people already in the country. For nearly three years, the Argentine people protested with road blocks, strikes, protests and occupations, and was repressed by the police daily.
the evening of December 19, 2001, De la Rua announced the collapse, and for three days there were riots everywhere. The Argentines sought to recover their money, and were pursued those responsible for the looting of the country.
The government repression caused 40 deaths and 2000 injuries, and 40,000 people were arrested. On 20 December, the Plaza de Mayo became a battlefield, where the policemen shot and stepped on.
The IMF, although the major responsible for the collapse of Argentina, was considered unrelated to the disaster, and split strategies to plunder the country as "a program that could be supported economically and politically." (3) Le autorità della Bm e del Fmi cambiarono la versione dei fatti, per far apparire che avevano cercato di aiutare il paese ma non vi erano riusciti, nascondendo che proprio le loro "riforme" avevano causato la bancarotta.
Ma la crisi argentina non fu soltanto un disastro: molti lavoratori si accorsero che poteva essere un’opportunità per cambiare il sistema, almeno parzialmente. Il popolo si sollevò e cacciò ben tre presidenti (Fernando De la Rua, Federico Ramón Puerta, Adolfo Rodriguez Saà). Si formarono assemblee popolari, sulla base del modello di democrazia diretta, che portarono verso l'autogestione delle fabbriche abbandonate dai proprietari. Oltre 200 fabbriche furono occupate e rimesse in funzione. The workers planned the creation of cooperatives and starting a fight for the expropriation and nationalization of self-managed factories.
The occupation of the first factory Yaguanè (freezing), occurred in 1996, followed in 1998, the Impa (industry of packaging and aluminum foil) and in 2000, 90 metal workers formed a cooperative and the magistrate took possession of 'company. After 2001 there were over 1000 failed industries, and workers took possession of some of them. In 2001 were self-managed Zanon (pottery) of Neuquen and Brukman (textiles) in Buenos Aires, that the old owners had abandoned. Zanon and other plants became a successful example of self-management system.
Today, about 170 companies are run by 10,000 workers, who have created a structure without hierarchies. In this way, many wastes were disposed of, as with the old patronage, at least 65-70% of the gains were the income of managers and owners.
To protect the new structure, continually threatened by the elite, has formed the National Movement of Companies Occupy (MNER) which calls for the extension of Article 17 of the Constitution, which provides for the expropriation for "public interest". According to the MNER even expropriate a company to create jobs is to work for the public interest.
The Argentine citizens, regained part of the country's resources, after the devastation of the IMF. In addition to industries, including supermarkets, mining, publishing houses etc.., Abandoned by its previous owners, had been found by workers and put back in sixth. The struggle to regain their own country is also a struggle to erase a past full of injustices and crimes. Tell Raúl Godoy, Secretary of the Syndicate of Neuquen Potter: "This factory (Zanon) was inaugurated in 80, in full dictatorship. And how were the world, so these large openings will help to ensure that the silence on the deaths, on seizures on desaparecion continue unpunished .... And today, one year after the occupation of the plant, I can say with joy that the factory is opened again, this time by the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo .... and a new factory, factory workers, and mothers. "(4)
Workers who self-manage the factories, mines and so on. have the support of almost the entire population, including university professors and students. For all Argentines it is to revive the country devastated by a massive, engineered by the elite U.S. to loot the country. The future of Argentina is given to workers, and their ability to self-determination. You can consider this as a revolution Pacific, resulting in a new way of understanding the work and property. The Argentine workers, directly managing the factories, establishing rules fair wage and getting rid of the control of the "masters" have created a truly democratic structure.
In January 2002, he became President Eduardo Duhalde, who tried to lift the peso from the dollar, following the devaluation of 300% of the Argentine currency, which had dragged the country into hyperinflation.
On 25 May 2003 he was elected President Nestor Kirchner, who immediately began a major campaign against corruption in public administration. He promised the people to be prepared to counter the obligations imposed by the IMF to defend the rights of the people of Argentina.
The case of Argentina is just one example of how a crisis can generate desire renunciation of freedom and enslavement. The Argentines realized what had happened: the responsibility of the bankers in causing the crisis and make a profit.
Accepting the principle of authority in the financial sector has made us slaves to a small group of characters. These characters know that their power is based on our gullibility or willingness to believe that the coin is minted in everyone's interest that the economy has "natural cycle" or that the stock market depends on factors not fully predictable and non- is controlled by anyone.
In simple terms, the psychological acceptance is fundamental to maintain the system, and even the "crisis" may rafforzare tale accettazione, provocando il vuoto che appare prima di un radicale cambiamento.
I banchieri si valgono di esperti in materie psicologiche e sociologiche, e sanno che le crisi sono utili quando una certa quantità di persone comprende la loro truffa e cercano il modo di uscirne.
Ovviamente, arriverà prima o poi la crisi definitiva che spazzerà l’attuale sistema di potere, Ma essa non potrà avvenire prima di una totale presa di coscienza delle popolazioni e dell’acquisizione di un forte senso di responsabilità necessario alla libertà.
Si dovrà comprendere che ogni “crisi” del sistema è vantaggiosa per i popoli.
Il problema è che i popoli temono di creare a system that sees them kings, because they think they have to depend on the outside and not being able to stand alone. If not there would certainly be a financial system based on nothing, and controlled by a few characters, acting like a bunch of dangerous gangsters.
Perhaps the question arises how to overcome the massive cage that imprisons us so much that even when the bars come loose cry of fear. The question is what we believe really, if that freedom requires responsibility and risk, or nell'asservimento, which is due to the fear and sense of helplessness.
What are the banks for us? We are confident that they can not do without bankers today? We are confident that the failure of banks can not be an opportunity to revolutionize the financial system? Of course, this would require a commitment and a sense of responsibility that people have never taken before (except for sporadic cases), but it is certain that sooner or later a system based on fraud will collapse. E 'from our change likely to emerge in a change of reality, and there will be little or Veltroni Berlusconi to tell us how to demolish the existing regime.
The changes may have already begun, thanks to the awareness of some, and will be irreversible. In the world many people want to exit the system. This is real, even if there will be said on the news.
Arriverà il momento in cui ci sarà il crollo definitivo, prepariamoci per questo, superando ogni paura e credendo fermamente che il peggio sarà passato proprio nel momento del crollo.
Non dobbiamo più cedere il nostro potere ad autorità esterne, perché possiamo essere responsabili del nostro benessere, della nostra felicità e creare un sistema che non sia a servizio del profitto ma del bene collettivo. Possiamo iniziare sin da adesso a non essere più motivati dalla paura.
Non bisogna per forza avere uno spirito temerario e rivoluzionario per accogliere con favore le novità, che in apparenza potranno sembrare sgradevoli. Pensiamo a cosa hanno fatto negli ultimi secoli le grandi famiglie stegocratiche: guerre, poverty, hunger and suffering of various kinds and amount, two thirds of the world's population forced to live in severe poverty, millions of slave laborers closed in the industries of Walt Disney, Nike, Coca Cola, etc. mafias international extend their business growing in all sectors of the economy, unemployment and precarious employment, the pollution is increasing because of resistance to implement new energy technologies, political systems are increasingly based on performance and corruption, the media always most squalid and degrading treatment, etc..
regret something that you believe?
