GLOBAL ALLIANCE INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION
THE BIG
PICTURE
As Of January 2001
By E J EKKER
The Global
Alliance Investment Association (GAIA) is an organization dedicated to the
restoration of freedom, dignity, and sovereignty to all men, women and children
on the planet often called Earth. As
such, it finds itself in conflict with those powers that seek to control the
peoples of Earth through their control of money, energy, food, education, and
communication.
Freedom and dignity flow from the sovereignty of the
individual. Dictionaries and
Encyclopedias will define sovereignty in political terms, as though only
states/nations could possess it.
Sovereignty is far more than that.
Sovereignty also describes that appropriate relationship between God and
man; a relationship wherein there is no "broker" in between God and
man, and wherein sovereignty, provided by God, is matched by the acceptance of
responsibility by the man. (The use of
the term "man" is intended to include women and children; God does
not discriminate.)
Nations, like men, are born sovereign. Men lose their sovereignty in many ways, but
God provides a way for each to restore his sovereignty by rejecting commitments
made for him by others and reaffirming his direct connection to God. Nations usually lose their sovereignty
through colonization, losing a war with a neighbor nation, or by taking loans
from the IMF/World Bank which require their political leaders to sign
agreements giving up certain basic rights regarding the responsibility of the
nation to determine the amount of currency it may issue, or have in circulation
(in addition to arms and nuclear restrictions). It should not be difficult to see that a nation that is prevented
from providing the tools and wherewithal for its citizens to achieve their own
economic independence, and to support their families, is not fertile ground for
anything except poverty and the humiliation and loss of dignity created
thereby.
GOD IS ABUNDANCE
People, caught in the poverty trap, pray to God for
help. God responds in a way and at a
time that is suitable to His plan; we are now in the "new millennium"
so long anticipated to be one thousand years of peace and prosperity. Is it too difficult to believe that He would
respond to a "physical" problem in a physical way? God is not poverty; God is abundance. It is the men-followers of Lucifer who
scheme to benefit from the effort and substance of others that create the
imbalance between nations having money, tools, and skills and those suffocating
in poverty.
Nations, too, have a way to regain their
sovereignty--by reestablishing their responsibility for themselves. When the colossal fraud perpetrated by the
wealthy nations upon the "non-industrialized", "third-world",
"emerging" nations is finally revealed to those victim nations, they
will be able, with the help of God and the Alliance (GAIA), to see what is
needed by each one to regain its sovereignty.
It is a pity that so much time must be expended just to shine the light
of truth upon the cruel tricks that have been played upon, and the lies that
have been inculcated within, the peoples of the victim nations.
THE FRAUD
That fraud, by
far the most profitable ever done by men to men, requiring some 200 years to
complete, was the removal and discrediting of gold as the base of all national
currencies, substituting a fiat (by decree) value for baseless paper money,
which allows the International Banking Cartel (IBC) absolute control of the
value of virtually every significant currency in the world. Through their manipulation of the values of
a nation's currency, the members of the IBC exercise economic control of all of
those nations through the mechanism of "foreign exchange". Through their control of the International
Monetary Fund & World Bank (IMF/WB), they rule every borrower-nation with
an iron grip, maintaining that grip by reallowing some 20% of the
borrower-nation's interest payments as "corruption money" to be given
to public officials and legislators to assure that those interest payments are
made, thus draining away any hope that the nation might get back on its
financial "feet".
To broaden and
strengthen its worldwide control, the IBC espouses the false siren of
"globalization" as the solution to the problems of third world
countries. The word
"globalization" has two very different meanings, one to the
globalizers and a different one to those being globalized. The globalizers tell those being globalized
that it means growing up, maturing, becoming haves instead of have-nots, not
only playing in the "markets", but having their own (and learning how
to manipulate them), which also provides a further means of capturing the best
assets of a nation. To the globalizers
the world is a playground wherein they invent the games, and make and change
the rules; thus "globalization" is no less than an invitation to the
less knowledgeable, who have already been misinformed, if not miseducated for
some 200 years by the globalizers, to join in "games" wherein the
cunning globalizers have everything they need to win the assets, even the very
nations themselves, of the intended globalized.
The above can
easily be verified by reading almost any business section of almost any
Southeast Asian newspaper almost any day.
There is a tenacious and persistent drumbeat to change laws to allow
more foreign ownership of, especially, banks (for economic control), utilities
(for cash flow), and oil and gas and mining properties (to assure that the
wealth derived therefrom can be exported and not free the nation of its bondage
to the IMF/WB and IBC). This explains
the need of reallowing the 20% of paid interest; it requires a lot of money to
bribe all of those legislators and administrative people. Isn't it convenient to be able to bribe them
with their own money? That is the
hallmark, the epitome of success, to those denizens of the Gentlemen's Clubs in
the (Inner) City of London--to boast of the stocks and properties bought with
the money taken (one way or another) from their former owners out in the
"colonies".
Can we not
beat them at their own game, once we know the game? Come now, how often will the Little League team beat a
Professional team? Especially when the
Pros can change the rules right in the middle of the game, should they need
to. We can win, yes, but not if we play
their game. We can win with God's help,
which we may have as long as we deal only in TRUTH. Unfortunately, it is a long way back through the lies to arrive
at the truth--even though we have made a good start. It is a great deal more pleasant, however, to discuss the truth,
so let us begin.
THE
GOLD STANDARD
In a truly (of
God/Aton/Allah) sovereign nation, the system of money is completely, 100%,
determined by the nation, whether that be the Legislature (most likely) or the
Administration, and prior to 1800 that was the fact. In a "just and fair" world each nation could be
expected to choose its most abundant, valuable and exportable product as the
base of its currency. That could not
work, however, because there had to be a "common denominator", a
standard that all nations could depend upon, and that standard was gold. Not so much by agreement as it was by fact:
nothing else worked. For many years the
British Pound, which was gold-based, was the unit of "foreign
exchange". Even before World War I
the Zionist IBC recognized that the USA would be the most desirable place for
their new homeland and began to take it over, economically and politically. They began to enhance the image and reputation
of the US dollar until, today, it is practically the only currency of foreign
exchange. At the same time they were
constantly and deliberately working to denigrate the value of gold in all
banking systems, while at the same time using every trick they could to get as
much of the world's gold under their control as possible.
Switzerland
stayed on the Gold Standard until 1999, at which time a Jewish woman was
elected President. She promptly
orchestrated a referendum that allowed the Swiss franc to "float",
which also cut the last cord holding the value of gold to some
"reality" and thus the price of gold has become more easily
manipulated by the IBC. Gold will
regain its value equilibrium as soon as any sizeable nation adopts it as the
base of its currency. (We should remind
the reader, Switzerland has 7.5 million people and, while its currency was
gold-based, never had any problem paying for its foreign purchases with its own
money; it did not need "foreign exchange".)
As reported to
the IMF each quarter, the central banks of all of the reporting nations (Israel
and China are not listed) report a total of 32,755 metric tons. Only a few hundred tons of that is for sale
each year. The annual demand for gold
is estimated at 3,500 tons; the production has fallen from above 2,500 to below
2,000 tons. The cost of producing gold
varies widely over the world and is usually estimated to be about $350 per
ounce so it is easy to see that at $265 ounce many, and probably most, mines
are not profitable. Another comparison
is with the price of platinum, a precious metal that has been priced within a
few dollars of gold for many decades.
Platinum is now priced at more than $600 per ounce, an indication of
where gold would also be if it were not being manipulated by the IBC (while
they are buying as much as they can with baseless US dollars), and also an
indication of where it will go when the grip of the London fixers is loosed.
Some readers
of this paper will immediately raise a howl that the Philippines could not
possibly stand the shock of suddenly having its peso "trading" at
something like P25 instead of P50 per dollar.
That is nonsense, of course, because a gold-based currency doesn't care
what a dollar is worth; it cares what gold is worth measured in the currency of
any nation from whom it has purchased something. The Philippines has far more gold than is reported by all of the
central banks and when the Philippine Peso is based on gold and the gold begins
to flow into the banking system the price of gold will no longer be
"fixed" in London in US dollars; it will be determined in Manila in
Philippine Pesos.
GAIA'S
$400 PER OUNCE GOLD PROGRAM
GAIA has
established a program whereby the owner/holder of gold can be paid $400 per
ounce, or P589.42 per gram, as compared with the current price of $260 per
ounce, P383.12 per gram. If the
Philippine government will work with GAIA by providing an amnesty and adequate
publicity of its amnesty and the GAIA program, thousands of tons of gold will
flow into the BSP buying stations. When
neighboring nations see the benefits of a gold-based currency they will be
wanting to buy gold; GAIA will be ready, willing and able to help them; and the
Philippines should be willing to sell some of its gold. As the Global Alliance gains strength and
more nations join, the price of gold should rise until it stabilizes at a price
commensurate with the cost of mining and refining plus a reasonable
profit. If each nation denominated its
currency as a "gram", meaning 1, 2, 5, 10, etc., grams of gold, the
problem of "universal" or "regional" currency would be
solved without any conflict over whose name to use and it would be recognizable
and measurable in all languages.
CURRENCY
MANIPULATION
The benefits
of a gold-based currency, especially when shared by a number of regional
nations, are virtually incalculable.
The list would begin with, "no need for personal income
taxes", "no need for foreign exchange", continue with "no
inflation", and end with "non-manipulatable". To take the last first, a currency trader or
hedge fund, to make a significant profit, must be able control, or at the least
influence, the price of a currency, either up or down. If there is no control of direction the likelihood
of loss is as great as the likelihood of gain, and currency traders only bet on
sure things. When a currency is linked
to gold it cannot be "moved" by a trader, or even a consortium of
traders working in concert as a "pack", which is their normal
technique. Quite obviously, the larger
and better organized the group of nations using gold, the more stable it
becomes; in the GAIA program the Alliance will control some 25%-50% of the gold
in each nation, as an Alliance reserve, which will further stabilize the price
while being a mutually available reserve for emergencies.
INFLATION
Paper money is
an "unsecured" "promise to pay". US paper currency has "FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE" printed at
its top. With the possible exception of
a very few currencies in Islamic countries, all of the world's currencies have
absolutely no value; they are debt-based fiat (by "decree") paper
illusions based upon nothing. Because
they are illusions with no physical base, they can be given any value desired
by those with the most money-power, the International Banking Cartel. On any given day, and with information
supplied by local IMF/WB offices, the values of currencies all over the world
(except Malaysia) can be established in The City of London.
When a
currency has no base, governments and banks are tempted to issue more currency
than is commensurate with the ability of the nation to make good, via its
ownership of other "banking reserves", on the debt it has created by
issuing the currency or credit, thus diluting its value. To the citizen, inflation manifests as an
increase in prices; to the government it is "free money", i.e., money
neither collected as taxes nor accounted for; to the banker, it is two things
he loves: more money to lend and thus more profit, and a "cost" to be
added onto his interest rate which can be "fudged" enormously because
it so difficult to define. If he can
predict an average annual "inflation rate" of 10%, he must add on 10%
to his interest rate; otherwise he will get back, at the end of one year, only
900 in value for each 1000 loaned at the beginning of the year. If there is no inflation "add-on"
a bank can make money at 4% or even less.
In 1940 in the US the typical mortgage interest rate was 2% and the
Banks, Savings & Loans, and mortgage companies were all making money.
A gold-based
currency cannot inflate. Before, or
simultaneous with, issuing new currency/credit, a central bank must purchase
the gold reserves required to back the new currency/credit. At the same time, a nation can add
non-inflationary gold-based currency/credit to its money supply to match the
needs of its people, and to fund all of its own infrastructure such as:
Hydro-electric, nuclear, and all other electricity-generating plants and
distribution systems; water storage and canal systems for irrigation; desalinization
and water treatment plants and waste-water treatment plants for towns and
cities; non-polluting zero toxic/zero landfill waste disposal systems; roads,
highways and freeways, railroads, bridges and tunnels, ports and airports;
nonpolluting highspeed public transportation systems for both inter- and
intra-city use; modern and adequate hospitals and public health facilities;
spacious and well-staffed educational facilities, from kindergarten to the most
advanced degrees; well-trained, state-of-the-art equipped police, fire, and
emergency departments, with a justice and penal system with no
"backlog" or crowding, and adequate salaries for all of the people
serving in these "public" positions.
All of this can be done 100% internally, within a nation, without any
tax, income tax or otherwise, on the citizens.
Taxes are for control of the people, not revenue.
The benefits
of low interest rates to an economy are enormous. The monthly payment on a 20-year mortgage is twice as much at 14%
as it is at 4%, for instance, which would seem to put home ownership within the
reach of, at least, twice as many families.
Think of the boon to all business that just that one fact offers. All businesses, to start up or to expand,
need to borrow money. If the interest
they must pay continually saps their financial strength, how can they
compete? Look at Japan--interest rates
at 2% for their businesses; is it any wonder Japanese businesses became so big
and strong? "But," you ask,
"how can we attract foreign capital with low interest rates?" The answer to that is that you do not need
foreign capital when you base your money on gold.
GOLD
AS FOREIGN EXCHANGE
The very
definition of gold-based currency is that it is "redeemable" in
physical gold. That means that a
person, company, or foreign nation can ask for and receive physical gold in
exchange for its paper money. To be
able to make good on that promise, the nation must have the physical gold in
its vaults in a form that is fungible (useable) to the claimant, which requires
that it be refined, formatted into bars or coins, and bars must be
appropriately marked as to quality (carat or %), numbered and registered.
When it is
known by other nations that the physical gold to back the currency of a nation
is available, that nation's currency, as well as any of its banks' Letters of
Credit, Bankers' Acceptances, Certificates of Deposit, and other bankers'
"paper", become directly acceptable as payment of international debt,
without the expense in both time and money to both buyer and seller of
obtaining "foreign exchange" (usually US dollars).
The effect of
escaping all of the problems associated with foreign exchange is
astounding. Most of the reporters and
editors of the Business & Financial sections of the newspapers, TV and
radio will be laid off. There is hardly
anything left to talk about. No foreign
borrowing. No bond issues, thus no "road
shows". No gain or loss in value
of the currency. No change in the
"overnight rates" or in the "liquidity reserve" in an
attempt to halt the slide of currency, or "dampen inflation". No concern over the nation's "credit
rating" (gold-based currency provides an automatic AAA but it is neither
needed nor used). No need for any more
"remittances from overseas workers".
No "bank runs" or failures.
No income tax collection problems and, with adequate money the system to
pay people a very decent wage, no excuse for continued corruption. At that point graft and corruption can be
prosecuted as the crimes they are.
Finally, no budget deficits; no foreign debt to drain away the nation's
vitality; no concern over "balance of payments", and no competition
with neighbor nations for industry, tourism and other sources of foreign
exchange.
INCOME
TAX
In its most
robust years, the United States of America had no Income Tax on the earnings of
its citizens or industries. Its CONSTITUTION
does not provide for such a tax and it is quite likely that the 1935 Philippine
Constitution does not, either. The
"Founding Fathers" of America clearly understood that the national
government, via its Treasury, had the responsibility of issuing the currency to
be used in the thirteen colonies (later called states) in sufficient amounts to
satisfy the needs of all of the people.
Banks were permitted to issue credit as long as they had reserves to
cover it. Of course, at that time
"foreign exchange" was not a problem and did not become a problem for
the US until the Civil War of 1861. The
present Income Tax in the US was initiated in 1941 as a temporary
"war" measure by President Roosevelt and is said to still have no
basis in law.
A nation that has no external
(foreign) debt has no need to tax its citizens or industries. If it has the proper "Republic"
government structure (from the bottom up instead of top down) sometimes wrongly
called "Federalism" and more properly called "Federation"
(the original USA was first known as the "Confederation of States"),
the functions of the federal government are so modest that they can easily be
paid for by customs duties and taxes on such things as tobacco and
alcohol. At the local level the people
are very busy and are being well paid for building the infrastructure mentioned
above. If they pay no Income Tax they
can afford sales and/or property tax and toll-road use fees, if necessary, to
support maintenance, administration, fire and police protection, education and
health services. When a nation can
purchase gold and add to its money supply whatever is needed to support its
commerce and the needs of its people, there is no need to tax its people, or
for its people to tax themselves.
INDEPENDENT
CENTRAL BANK
There
is no need for a central bank at all, let alone one that is
"independent", unless, of course, the intention is to
"privatize" it to be operated by and for the profit of the
International Banking Cartel, as is the Federal Reserve System in the US. The notion that a central bank is to be
operated as a "profit center" is another fiction foisted off on
uninformed and unsuspecting legislators by the IBC, and is of course endorsed
by bankers. No, the functions currently
assigned to central banks are better done as a federal service by the
Treasury. The suggestion of treating
all banks as a public utility has been made but discarded because the possibility
of loss helps keep a private banker honest in evaluating a prospective
loan. However, the fantastic
profitability of banks indicates that they can use some curbing, and a
gold-based currency to eliminate the confusion introduced by
"inflation" should take care of most of it.
STOCK MARKETS
Stock
Markets (Exchanges, Bourses, etc.) everywhere have been turned into Casinos
wherein brokers and traders, and some shrewd individual manipulators who have
or can borrow the money, "play" "against" legitimate investors
who either own their stock because of having built the company from its early
beginnings, or who have purchased shares in the belief that their money would
earn a good return. A third and very
important class of stock investors in Southeast Asia are the professionally
managed mutual funds, retirement funds, and insurance companies. The people who own or control the stock
exchanges will almost always be of the stock brokerage business, and the most
vocal ones constantly agitating for "upgrading",
"modernizing", "opening up", and "relaxing the
rules" will have a string leading back to the IBC that owns and controls
all of the British and American (and most other) stock exchanges. The point to be made is that such a
beneficial concept as the Stock Exchange has been so perverted by the IBC that
it is no longer trusted or useful and must now be reconstituted.
The
beauty of common stock is that it provides a means of sharing the ownership of
an enterprise, including its risks and rewards. It offers also a means of raising capital needed to start or,
more frequently, expand an enterprise.
To the officers and employees of an enterprise it offers a way of
participating in the value added by one's personal effort. A Stock Exchange can also become a very
beneficial organization if it is confined to the necessary and beneficial
activities intended for it. It's
"listings" provide pricing information which, hopefully, reflect the
progress of the company and are useful in many ways. It provides a way for a shareholder to sell his shares when he
needs or wants to, as well as a way to invest money in additional or different
shares. If he needs income he can buy
preferred stock or the bonds issued by some companies.
Leaving
"derivatives" aside, since they are not common in Southeast Asia, the
most flagrant abuses fostered by stock markets here usually will contain one or
both the borrowing of money on stock and the "short" sale of stock
(to make money if the stock goes down in price). Just the elimination of those two practices will dampen or stop
most stock market manipulation and restore confidence in stock ownership. When that is accomplished the stock markets
will be awash in "buy orders" from local people, banks, insurance
companies and retirement funds. Foreign
money in a local stock exchange is there for only one reason, profit. The instant that profit is in question the
stocks will be sold, driving them much lower than warranted. No foreign money should be allowed in the
local stock markets, just as foreign ownership of properties and natural
resources should be excluded.
CONCLUSION
Virtually
every "bible", no matter the religion of its origin, speaks of the
TIME OF THE LORD, the millennium of peace and prosperity to follow the reign of
Lucifer and Satan. Just as ubiquitous
is the expectation that such a time begins 2,000 years after the birth of
"Christ". It seems logical to
assume a period of transition; we can not expect God to instantly dispose of
Lucifer and all of his helpers. On the
contrary, the really GREAT CONTEST is for the souls of the people and those in
the clutches of Lucifer must be given an opportunity to re-choose, which will
require some time.
We
believe that a good day for that transition to begin was January 1, 2001 and
events subsequent to that day indicate that the forces for good are indeed
beginning to assert themselves. All of
the suggestions and recommendations made in this paper are intended to enhance
the sovereignty of the individual and the nation, and to reduce or eliminate
the opportunities and rewards for evil and corrupt behavior. We would now invite each reader to re-read
those portions that were especially important to you in the first
reading--there is a message from God to each of us and if you missed yours,
please go now and find it.
