Merry Christmas Richard,:

In your concerned Christmas message of 12/24/2000 to mail lists 
cm@driveout.demon.co.uk & econ-lets@jiscmail.ac.uk you quoted Cal Schindel's 
recent note to econ-lets and concluded your thoughtful review of Christian 
concerns about our present condition with the following observation and 
invitation:

>>
The overthrow of this world's corrupt and deranged value system 
as taught and foreseen by the promised child who arrived 2000 years 
ago cannot come about in the absence of faith in the ultimate 
triumph of good over evil. For anyone who believes otherwise, then
how else can such a victory take place in your own heart, and
without this victory how can you help to be a part of the solution
instead of being part of the problem?

Nor can this overthrow realistically come about without practical 
application of the tools which are available to us to enable us 
to become accountable to each other in a fair and just manner, so 
that we might free our children and their children and their 
children's children from the unreasonable expectations we place 
upon each other through that accessory in tyranny we know as public 
debt, or any other associated powers and principalities. If
anyone believes otherwise, then please try to convince me that your
plan is more realistic and just than mine, so that I might better put
into effect your plan of action than you might help put into
effect mine, if my understanding is not as good as it might be.

Richard, I share your faith "in the ultimate triumph of good over evil," 
and have been exploring, since 1955, the reasons why that triumph 
has been so long delayed.  Good hearted people, with the best of 
intentions, it seems to me, tend to use the present condition as the 
foundation for building the structure of a new and better society for 
their children's future.  That approach is useful only to our "best 
and brightest" citizens, because only they are capable of 
comprehending and mastering the status quo, which is too complex 
to be understood by the great majority.  But without the consent 
and approval of a significant majority of the public, nothing changes, 
and the status quo is sustained while the people and their 
environment perish.

Just recently, Pierre A. Rinfret. at url http://www.rinfret.com/, 
reminded John Pozzi of the complexity of establishing the Global 
Resources Bank, at url http://www.grb.net, when he wrote:

>>
I did not realize or understand that you were part of the "group." 
Congratulations!  I will be honored to help you since I agree 
with you; it has to come and it is the only way if the world is 
ever to have peace! BUT, and it is a huge BUT, it will take 
hundreds of years; don't ever forget the Roman Catholic 
Church is some 2000 years old and it has not gotten there yet!
    Regards, Pierre Rinfret.

This "group" which Pierre speaks of, as I understand it, includes 
all of the people, web sites, NGOs, and governments, which use 
the present condition as the foundation for building the structure 
of a new and better society for their children's future.  Members 
of the "group," quite justly, hate and despise the present 
condition.  They write about it in the same tone as did J. Walter 
Plinge in his December 23rd note, A TIME TO REFLECT, also
distributed by list CM, when he wrote:

>>
What we have here is the Theology for the new millennium- The 
New Fundamentalism. A Theocracy to dominate the world. The 
Taliban are Pikers when it comes to enforcing conformity.

Let us pray.
Dear God, if we are going to be good pious people we might 
as well learn a little bit about our heritage. Please enlighten us 
as to your teachings...let's talk Beanie Babies investment options!

Amen !

Now, Richard, I do not know of any way by which someone else 
could persuade you that his plan was superior to your plan, and 
that you should work towards implementing his plan.  I certainly 
do not have that talent.  But I firmly believe that the solution 
which I learned about in 1955 from on-the-job experience, and 
documented to the best of my ability on the Internet, is the only 
solution.  There are two-hundred nations out there, with a 
different "present condition" in each nation, but when each 
government puts its own house in order, all two hundred nations 
will be governed by the one and only WHOLE DIVINE LAW.  
You can explore it by reviewing the various entries under Tithes 
in your bible's subject index.  I use The Scofield Reference 
Bible my self, and back up my findings with a Duay (Catholic) 
Version of the Bible, The Pentateuch & Haftorahs by Dr. J. H. 
Hertz, late Chief Rabbi of the British Empire, and The Koran 
with a preliminary discourse by George Sale.  I am always 
astonished by how closely these four ancient history books 
agree with each other on this subject.

It is not a matter of inventing new solutions.  The solution, in 
various degrees of completeness, is ubiquitous among our 
international corporations and among some of our industrial 
nations, but each one thinks it has gained a competitive 
advantage and tries to withhold the solution from its 
competitors, employees, and customers.

For the benefit of any eleven and twelve year olds on the lists 
who do not have web access, please find below the text of 
THE WHOLE DIVINE LAW which was posted two years sgo

Looking forward to a little Bible study on the Internet in 2001.

Kind regards,

 The Whole Divine Law (Fig7-9)

The last American economist, Henry Carter Adams, addressed 
our past and present second-best public policy in his 1887 
essay, RELATION OF THE STATE TO INDUSTRIAL ACTION, 
American Economic Review, VOL. I, 1887, when he wrote:

"I am not arguing for any particular line of public policy, but 
rather for a change in the attitude of mind with which men 
commonly regard the agency of government; for great reforms 
are, after all is said, nothing but a change in the way people 
look at things."

Everything bad that Ayn Rand, the Austrian economists, and 
their American students have said about government is 
certainly true. But the one thing that only governments can do 
successfully is to distribute a public expense uniformly over 
the productive members of society by means of a flat tax rate 
applied to all income. So we do need a change in the way we 
look at government, and we must learn the different results 
produced by direct taxes at flat rates on all income (Thomas 
Paine's "from each according to his ability), and, indirect taxes 
at different rates on selected products of the capital plant (only 
people pay taxes).

Then H. C. Adams went on to write:

"And it may not be inappropriate to say, as guarding somewhat 
against misunderstanding, that I consider the attitude of mind 
by which this essay has been directed to be essentially 
conservative. It stands opposed to anarchy on the one hand, 
which is individualism gone to seed, and to socialism on the 
other, which, both historically and logically, is a revolt against 
the superficial claims and pernicious consequences of 
LAISSEZ-FAIRE. Its purpose is to conserve true democracy, 
and this it would do by weakening the influence of commercial 
democracy which now rules the minds of men." 

Since the word, CAPITALISM, has been made meaningless by 
the advocates of postmodern relativism, we might find it useful to 
call our present condition, commercial democracy, as Adams 
did one-hundred and twelve years ago. That is to say, we live in 
a society that has all of the mechanisms for effective democracy 
still in place, and still in working order, but yet the commercial 
interests exercise an undue influence on public policy, to the 
detriment of the environment and our quality of life. The closest 
analog I can think of to illustrate our condition is the biology 
experiment which begins with a stable and healthy colony of 
laboratory rats. 

Rats, as you know, are in the middle of the obnoxious species 
continuum, somewhat larger than cockroaches but smaller than 
poor people, and we can learn a lot about people by 
experimenting on rats. Anyway, the experiment calls for 
restricting the rat colony's living space and reducing its daily 
food supply. I have never seen the experiment performed, but 
I hear that all sorts of social pathologies are demonstrated and I 
also hear that it takes a strong stomach on the part of the 
experimenter to continue the process to its logical conclusion, 
or "die-off."

Our human condition is much like that of the rats. There is no 
direct connection from the experimenter to the individual rat, 
nor from our public policy to the individual citizen. The 
experiment imposes less space and less food. Our public policy 
has imposed for the last hundred years and more 4-10% 
unemployment and a 2-3%/year decline in the value of our 
money. But the single imposition on either the rat colony or the 
nation produces a different response in each rat, and a 
different response in each citizen, so it is a mind stretching 
intellectual effort for the rat or the citizen to reason from his 
own experience back to the root cause of his experience. 
People can see the cause of the rat's experience because they 
are outside the system. They cannot see the cause of their own, 
until they find a conceptual framework, and make the intellectual 
effort, that lets them view the whole system from a vantage point 
outside of the system. This is what drawings, charts, and visual-aids help 
people to do, that is, to stand outside the system under 
discussion and look at the whole system in operation. Notice that 
the system operates, regardless of whether or not we look at it, 
understand it, neglect it, or change it to our heart's desire.

The attached file Fig7-9b.GIF has been resized to display 
properly on your monitor and print properly on 8.5x11 inch paper, 
so the outsized image of previous posts is no longer an excuse 
for not discussing the systemic defect of omission in our public 
policy which is illustrated by the three charts. That defect of 
omission is the lack of a dependent allowance adequate to 
remove from the family budget the head tax of 
$5,000/year/dependent on parenting families, which is the 
root cause of our social disorders.

For those of you who have read the REVELATION of St. JOHN 
THE DIVINE, and think I am adding something to the bible by 
pointing out that the ten commandments are incomplete, I beg 
to differ. Something was taken away from the bible long ago 
and those who took it away, and everyone else, have suffered 
ever since. I don't think anyone will be punished by God for 
restoring those parts of the Law which may be found in the 
book of Numbers, but are not taught to Englishmen and Americans.

For those of you who have not read the bible, the relevant parts 
of the last book of the bible, written in AD 96 on the island of 
Patmos after the Temple had been distorted, and the Jews 
dispersed, reads as follows:

(REV. 22:18) "For I testify unto every man that heareth the 
words of the prophets of this book, If any man shall add unto 
these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are 
written in this book:"

(REV. 22:19) "And if any man shall take away from the words 
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out 
of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things 
which are written in this book."
