Note that a dollar in 2006 is not equivalent to a dollar in 2007 due to inflation which we will explain later.Thus, not all dollars are equal although they are alleged to be by the fraudulent banking system. Note thatinflation is not “income”.Origins of the Word “MONEY”The origin of the word "money" comes from the Latin word "moneta", which comes from the temple of Hera Monetawhere the Roman money came from in the early days of Rome. In Greek language, "Hera Mone tas" means the lonelyHera ("Mone tas" in Doric Greek, "Mone tes" in Ionic dialect). In ancient mythology, Zeus punished Hera and tied her witha golden chain between earth and sky. Hera, being alone between sky and earth tied with gold, was called moneres ormone (µόνη) which means lonely, and this is where the word money comes from. Hera, with the help of Hephaestus,broke the golden chain and released herself. It is said that all gold found on earth (which forms approximately a singlecube 20 m a side) originates from the fragments of this golden chain, which fell from the sky and became human'smone(y).Maybe due to this fable, gold was used in ancient Greece only in temples, graves and jewels, and there was not anyancient Greek golden coin until around 390 BC, when the Greek king Philip II of Macedon coined golden coins. The firstgolden coins in history were coined by Lydian king Croesus around 560 BC. The first Greek coins were made initially ofcopper, then of iron and this is because copper and iron were powerful materials used to make weapons. Pheidon king ofArgos, around 700 BC, changed the coins from iron to a rather useless and ornamental metal, silver, and, according toAristotle, dedicated some of the remaining iron coins (which were actually iron sticks) to the temple of Hera[1](http://www.metrum.org/money/heraion.htm ). King Pheidon coined the silver coins at Aegina, at the temple of thegoddess of wisdom and war Athena the Aphaia (the vanisher), and engraved the coins with a Chelone, which is used untilnowdays as a symbol of capitalism. Chelone coins[2] (http://www.snible.org/coins/hn/aegina.html ) were the firstmedium of exchange that was not backed by a real value good. They were widely accepted and used as theinternational medium of exchange until the days of Peloponnesian_War when the Athenian Drachma replaced them.According to other fables, inventors of money were Demodike (or Hermodike) of Kyme (the wife of Midas), Lykos (son ofPandion II and ancestor of the Lycians) and Erichthonius, the Lydians or the Naxians.The word money in Greek language is not µόνη (money), it is νόµισµα (nomisma or numisma) which derives from theword νοµίζω (nomizo=putative, I think so, I suppose so) and from the word νόµος (nomos=law). So numisma gives theexact meaning and definition of mone(y). It is something we think has value, or something that someoneconvinced us it has, but in reality it has not. Also, in case we are not convinced that mone(y) has value and we donot recognize the mone(y) making authority, mone(y) is enforced by law for use as the unique medium of exchange intrades. In case an individual or a community refuses to accept mone(y) as the unique medium of exchange, then thepowerful mone(y) maker authority, using its monopoly on violence and enforced taxation, steals the real value goods(home, food, transport, energy, labor) that the individual or the community owns. That’s why many individuals orcommunities hide their goods from mone(y)-making authorities. The crime of hiding goods from a mone(y)-makingauthority is called tax evasion.One of the words for money in the Hebrew language is mammon. Mammon does have more than one meaning dependingon its linguistic and etymological contexts. The Bible gives the word “mammon” a broader context in terms of itssocioeconomic, cultural, and theological usages. Mammon, a word of Aramaic origin, means "riches", but hasan unclear etymology; scholars have suggested connections with a word meaning "entrusted", or with the Hebrew word"matmon", meaning "treasure". It is also used in Hebrew as a word for "money" - The‏‏ממון.‏ Greek word for "Mammon",mamonas, occurs in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew vi 24) and in the parable of the Unjust Steward (Luke xvi 9-13).The Authorised Version keeps the Syriac word. Wycliffe uses "richessis". Other scholars derive Mammon from Phoenician"mommon", benefit. Notice that if you consider the word mammon(as) (µαµωνς) as a Greek word and as a compositeone (the majority of Greek words are composites), then the two parts "mam-mon(as)" could be explained (in Greek doric)as "lonely mother", which reminds Hera's myth mentioned above. Other explanations could be mamm (means "mother" or"food") –onas (means "a place where you can find mamm"), also –m (means "with") –on (means "being") –as (withCircumflex, means "owner or seller")."He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of thehidden manna. I will also give him a white vote with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it." (Bookof Revelation 2:17). According to the Book of Revelation, the mark of the beast seems to be a form of money. "And hecauseth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in theirforeheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of hisname. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding vote the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; andhis (its) number is Six hundred threescore and six." (Book of Revelation 13:16-13:18)First Instances of MoneyThe use of proto-money may date back to at least 75,000 B.C., when shell necklaces were made in Blombos Cave inSouth Africa. These necklaces would have provided the basic attributes needed of early money. In cultures where metalworking was unknown, shell or ivory jewelry were the most divisible, easily storable and transportable, scarce, and hardThe Hidden History Of Money & New World Order Usury Secrets Revealed at last!
