"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." Henry David ThoreauToday, we need a nation of Minutemen, who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservationof freedom as the basic purpose of their daily lives, and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.John Fitzgerald KennedyAnswer to 1996 MSNBC question: Are political reporters politically biased? Unless there is an editor or reporter with aperfectly neutral work-focus and style of presentation, then ALL reporters and editors are politically biased. Bias however,is no sensitive issue where a mature audience is apt to detect bias and account for it. The damaging aspect of 'news'coverage is its non-focus on imperative issues and qualifiable solution; and that so many citizens of all countries of theWorld hold to so many irrelevant snippets as if they can be served by them. For some 20 years for instance, the prospectof a 'balanced budget' occasionally draws some focus. But, in the news, and in politics, never have we seen an exhaustiveproof of whether it is even mathematically possible to balance the budget under current and ever-worsening conditions. Ifhowever, World politics will ever see the solution of ever-mounting debt, and a solution of the ever greater costs of evermounting debt, inevitably this will be through the eyes of a mathematic expression equivalent to conclusive, mathematicproof. Do the people even want to see or hear this, or administer to issues in conclusive terms? Only their focus on such ascope will tell. But certainly no news-service offers the inevitable argument. In any event, the impertinence of theaudience befits the impertinence of submitted material. If they had no equally impertinent audience... all impertinentmaterial, and all impertinent politicians, would be equally vanished. Just something to consider, as we plunge ever deeperinto insoluble debt. Mike MontagneWhat does Forbes know about money? Good question. Forbes is constantly putting a positive spin on EVERY consequenceof what they, too, falsely call "economy."They are an exemplary propaganda machine. Rising prices (which are costs — and especially rising financed costs, amultiple of price) are presented as profit. All you can get for your $900,000 home built in 1963 for $35,000 is another$900,000 home built in 1963 for $35,000. What you've paid in some 40 years for that stupid asses' $35K home issomething like $2,000,000. And this is to your advantage? THEN, when the "housing market" collapses, they spin it as "abuyer's market." AGAIN, they paint the OPPOSITE as an ostensible advantage. Like you can get on a crashing train forless than the guy in the front car, who was just killed by what hasn't reached you yet. Mike MontagneIt is vital to understand, as the World of the capitalist untouchables crushes ours, that it is not the collapse of a thousandEnrons which brought us down. It is the nature of this adverse system which your capitalist untouchables and the moneywhores in politics and the media, which they own, would never have you understand. Mike MontagneImposition of a central banking system owned by the local banks’ owners and issuing debt-usury-based money createdfrom nothing on peoples’ true free enterprise runs quite the opposite course. It takes a free running engine, andirreversibly multiplies its debt until it can run no more. That it ran in the first place, that it ran for some time, and that itimproved its production at times even faster than usury imposed ever greater oppression is no testament the subjectcommerce can sustain itself against the multiplying costs of debt forever. In fact commerce is finite; And a system whichcan only multiply debt in proportion to commerce certainly is bound at some time to exceed the capacity of finitecommerce to support infinite, irreversible multiplication of debt. Mike Montagne8000 B.C. Onwardsc. 8000s: Three dimensional clay tokens (Lat. calculi) were used as counters depicting objects and abstract numbers frompresent day Sudan to Iran.c. 3500: In Sumer, pictographs of accounts written on clay tablets.c. 3000-> 2000: Development of Banking in Mesopotamia Banking originates in Babylonia out of the activities of templesand palaces which provided safe places for the storage of valuables.

In parts of Africa they were used for thispurpose as recently as the middle of the 20th century.c. 640 -> 630: The first true coins produced in Lydia The earliest coins made in Lydia, Asia Minor, consisted of electrum, anaturally occurring amalgam of gold and silver.c. 600s: Coinage began to be circulated in the Aegean; according to Herodutus it was the Kingdom of Lydia which mintedthe first coins.
