Royal Bank of Scotland (Rothchilds) Predicts U.S. Currency Collapse - Three Months

You likely heard the news coming from the Royal Bank of Scotland (the Rothchilds) predicting some acute downturn in the markets or more specifically, the collapse of the U.S. dollar. Morgan Stanley weighed in with the same outlook. They are predicting this will occur in three months time.

The Bank Announcement: www.telegraph.co.uk/money/main.jhtml?xml=/money/2008/06/18/cnrbs118.xml

Ladies and gents, there is no surprise here. David Walker -Comptroller, U.S. Treasury has been screaming with this prediction for two years...no one was listening.

Here is the flawed assumption underneath this pending fiasco. Human beings on this planet assume we are disconnected...we aren't! I mean this in more ways than the economic system. It is an energy crisis...that is, HUMAN ENERGY!

The systems, the global infrastructure we built was constructed on a fear-based approach to our designs.

  • Our economies built to compete...not cooperate
  • Our governments divide us...not bring us together
  • We build defense systems built to attack...not help us, human beings
    (..and worse, covert activities) ref: http://www.newyorker.com/ The New Yorker, Seymour Hersh or 24hour broadcast on www.npr.org
  • Religions of the world divide us...instead of bringing us all together.

These are all fear-based systems under the assumption we are all separate...we aren't.

Here is the solution to the crisis (use a calculator)

The 2008 budget for the U.S. is 2.3 trillion. 1.3 trillion of this goes to the infrastructure you need to protect yourself from the world - that you think you are disconnected from. This 1.3 goes to the FBI, CIA, NSA and military...etc. This doesn't include all the dollars at the State and Local levels. So let us add in another trillion for these guys and now we have 2.3 trillion dollars!

Folks, this is a lot of money! Your money. Governments get their revenues for us. This is how they choose to spend it...that is, to protect you from your fears. Otherwise, if you were not afraid then you wouldn't need all this wonderful protection...would you? What are you so afraid of? Each other? If so, we need to change this assumption. If we built systems to love each other then how could this produce fears for each other? Are we insane?

Now, consider that America is not the only culprit on the planet. Consider the same vast investments are being made by the UK, China and the Middle Eastern countries. Now this really is a whole lot of money! Hold that thought...

Compare this number in your head to the current economic problem at hand. What if we threw this massive amount of budget at the problem...would this not solve the crisis? Yes it would.

Folks, we human beings are allowing a deadly misuse of our global wealth by fearing each other. We need to stop this. Is there really a majority of people out there that assume fearing each other is a good use of our collective, global wealth? Really...where are you? You see, this is where the power lies to stop this insanity. All people, all human beings must demand our governments stop using our wealth to protect us and demand this same money be used to help each other. No other economic formula has this same potency and cure. Isn't this really what we all want?

This is a very serious memorandum. If you are breathing then you need to weigh in and change your vision of how you want to use our wealth. It is yours. All us human beings are generating these budgets...they belong to us. We ultimately hold the purse strings to the money our governments are spending. These expenditures are meant to be a reflection of us...what we want. Is it?

...there, in your answer, lies the solution.

Thank you for the beautiful, thought provoking and determining dance of words. Bravo, from this appreciative audience participant.

So, with the Congress focused on lesser matters that serve as diversionary strategies given its own inability, reluctance, or lack of ethical, moral, and legislative energy necessary to address this situation, then what energetic options are available to us as individuals? Consider the following:

-Envision that the banking power brokers, such as the Rothchilds and their international colleauges create a Financial Knights of the Round Table a medieval concept to be sure, but so are some of the medieval and arcane banking and credit practices that these power brokers have designed and implemented over the past 100 or so years.
- Envision that the purpose of the Round Table convocation would be to developi a plan to avoid this crisis. As powerbrokers whose past and current practices have contributed to and orchestrated this crisis, they are in the best position to find a way to resolve it.
-Consider that these Knights develop a Code of Chivalry that will guarantee that the currencies of all countries will be stabilized to the degree that each country cease and desist from all military activities currently in progess on their own soil or on the soil of a foreign nation.
-See the Knights surrounded by dazzling white light as they sit around the table working through the plan.
-Visualize a Phase II Knights of the Round Table meeting between the Knights and world leaders. Visualize the plan being presented to the leaders and each leader nodding and signing agreement.
-Envision each country vying with another to present its "gift to the world" using a "fair trade" scenario as it relates to all types of energy sources including "free energy technologies", agricultural products, health discoveries, manufacturing concepts, etc.
-Envision each leader vowing to respect the individual rights and freedoms of its people within the context of a workable governing model--a democratic model being an option, but not a mandate.
-Envision the earth as seen from space as the glorious blue, green and white sphere that it is and envision that each nation radiates a golden ray of light that enhances the image of the earth from space.
-Envision the golden rays of light spinning with such rapidity that the earth now has a golden energetic layer surrounding it.
-Envision that above that golden layer is a crystalline grid that projects a picture of the earth as a multi-faceted planetary diamond in the sky.

When you have completed this visualization, or fantasy, dependiing on your perception of it, know that you have used your considerable creative energies to effect change in this situation. Of course, you should still use the more common and widely accepted practices of writing to your legislative leaders, CEOs of multinational corporations, and any other person who is in a position to deescalate this global crisis.

Well put Ms Heil. You have very eloquently described a nice vision for the resolve. I applaud! However, the real power of this vision lies with the masses of people...feeding the round table energy. They are not actually the ones in charge...just hired to do our collective bidding.

We have structures in place today designed to accommodate this massive energy we collectively possess. We just aren't using it appropriately. The beautiful part of this effort is first you are doing this for yourself and secondly, your energy is the only energy you get to use. So your involvement, anyone's involvement, is made quite simple...isn't it? When the masses of us human beings then synchronize in this vibration...the world will change. Any resistance will be overwhelmed.

IONS is about this...isn't it? Like minds...synchronizing.

...do you assume those who read this are completely dim? Some of us have been on this for years. The Dominators periodically shear their flocks, but I'm not a sheep and don't need a shepherd.

Pony up with some novel strategies, monkey boy, or you're just gonna add to the fear factor.

Here's one, based on Bernie Lietaer's work:

Start a local currency, a demurrage variety that manifests negative interest. Get this currency into circulation at the local farmer's market, food stores, health care providers, etc.
Then, if/when the dollar tanks, some fallback exists to ameliorate despair.

Bad news needs to be tempered with hopeful options.

Dear friend Jeffrey, your use of that derogatory term made me cringe . . it felt like an ad hominem attack . . . did you intend it so? For empathy and understanding for all, Bob

Submitted by Jeffery DeCelles on July 9, 2008 - 2:54pm.

I throw the "monkey-boy" title around freely, Bob, and wear it proudly. Thanks to neoteny, the retention of immature traits into adulthood, I am able to play, imagine, and fool around.
Wouldn't be without it.

I've been moving, so a bit lax in followup.

Also, I'm not suffering fools gladly, these days.

Here's the outrage of the day: Monetary systems are MADE UP, somebody cobbled these things together to serve various agendas, some honorable, some not. Usury is condemned for good cause.
The clowns who built the house of cards Mr. Taylor is so concerned to preserve are welcome to dwell in it.
To invoke the suffering sure to follow a collapse is to point out the folly of attachment to fallacy.
I say, let this heap of corruption collapse.
The American populace is apparently unworthy of Liberty, too flaccid in intent to maintain the Republic granted them in the eighteenth century.
Sure, I'm pissed. I'm also divested. I don't have to play nice anymore.

Screw fear, and feeling responsible for other people's fuck-ups.

I want answers to Big Questions. These petty machinations by the minions of Mammon will complicate the search, but not forstall it.

Well Sir, I am guessing that my message of taking charge in a positive way didn't resonate very well with you. You suggest a patch. I tee'd up a solution.

Best wishes,
Ole Monkey Boy

Submitted by Jeffery DeCelles on July 9, 2008 - 3:21pm.

You may addess me as Monkey Boy, Mr. Taylor. I have no peerage, property, or commission.

Five decades of observation lead to a pragmatic assessment: Large social units drift toward imperial oligarchy, ossify due to control strategies seeking stability, then fracture, fragment, and recombine in episodes of turbulence.

The Industrial Growth System has apparently entered the fracture phase.

Citizens "demanding" a response from Empire usually get the pointy end of Law and Order technology.

Hard to swallow, Mr. Taylor?

Still believe that political action can turn this juggernaut?

I so very much wish I could, but don't.

Not to fret, Nature has tricks up her sleeve, and the More-Than-Human intelligence called by many names has more invested in Homo Sapiens than all the money ever issued.

So that's the context I came from when I dissed your post, which led with a dire prognostication. Easy enough to predict that sheep will be shorn. Harder to say what the wolves will do, harder still, the lions.

Reading through these comments to Mr. Taylor's initial warning, I measure them by the way they make me feel. In every case, the kinder comments make me feel hopeful and remind me to make wise use of my energy. The comments by the angry fellow do nothing to ignite my interest and in fact, are a turn-off. Fitting, isn't it, that some must attack that which is opposite to their natures.

I'm the "angry fellow" and I affirm that sweetness, light, and optimism are to be preferred over anger, fear, and resentment.

What got me incensed was Mr. Taylor's suggestion that conventional political action, coupled with enlightened intent, would be effective in addressing this challenge.

This notion, I find painfully naive, and sought to express my pain, with regretable clumsiness.

I offer apology to all, Mr. Taylor particularly. I can do better.

We all can do better, politically, than the corrupt empire masquerading as republic we now inhabit.

I'm an old warrior, more comfortable with sword than pen, and note the admonishment of one "Founding Father" that the tree of liberty must occasionally be watered with the blood of patriots.

Acknowledging the political incorrectness of such archaic lanquage, I still find validity in the message, that those who gather power and wealth to themselves are unlikely to "do the right thing" and re-distribute without severe arm-twisting.

Maybe I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. Won't be the last.

I really, Really, hope the sweetness and light method can do the trick.

I must admit, you both make me smile. Do remember, dichotomy is necessary. The sword defines the pen and visa versa. Do also consider a broader message in my original article...that is...

Science has proven human beings generate energy from their chosen dispositions. It is either positive or negative. There is really no argument amongst us...here, about this. This detectable energy causes the "do" part of our existence...in essence the subject matter here. What we have been doing and what we are doing and what we will DO have been and are all fueled by this one basic decision of which energy we choose for OURSELVES. Collectively this amasses. To frame this into a political action is much too limiting...it is bigger than this. The amassed energy will surface as positive or negative "fuel" and thus cause humans to "DO" in accordance. You see?

So our very focus, our emotional disposition is our contribution. I am suggesting we focus on what we desire and not on what we disgust. The sword is used with what we disgust. You see?

Collectively our assumptions regarding which one energy we individually plug into will change the world ...one way or the other. Both will have impact, both will cause change. Visualize how each will play out and within that vision is your navigation on which one to choose.

Political Correctness is becoming a very scary thing. Sometimes it is simply a lack of Freedom of Speech. If we can't speak freely, we can't solve problems. We need to look at two, three, or four sides.

You Americans sure love this and I do admit it is a powerful piece of writing; but it stikes me as pure nonsense, a value of the american character that is unworthy and only referenced by violent attitudes to life as you have done. America is built on the war machine and the world will never have any peace until you start making ploughshares.

Filip, merci de votre commentaire. Very astute insight. There are two energies in the U.S. 1) that which the average American feels and 2) that which the government employs. In the beginning one was a reflection of the other. Today this isn't true. Our government structures take actions around the globe that no longer represent the American demeanor. Most Americans are completely unaware of this. Sad...but true. The resolve is simple...bear with me.

If we all simply see things by THE ASSUMPTIONS then how we measure it changes. Any event, any circumstance, any action, legislation, foreign policy, domestic policies, etc.,etc.. can all me measured by which energy we assume is being used - positive or negative. This tells the real story. Americans can view how their money is being spent by this simple test.

As you said, when we Americans realize the majority of our global energy is invested with negative energy ...then, we will change it. Agreed?

Filip Vanzhov,
Where do you live? In which country do you have citizenship?
Thanks,
Barbara

Submitted by Jeffery DeCelles on July 22, 2008 - 2:09pm.

Thanks, Filip. I agree that the U.S.Federal government is a war machine, and has had such habits from early days. I am a citizen of the U.S.A., and do not endorse the behavior, policies, agenda, or intent of the U.S. Federal plutocracy.
I do take offense at the disparaging tone conveyed by words such as "nonsense" and "unworthy".
Violence has attended every significant transformation of social order I am aware of. Can you enlighten me with an example of a large, entrenched socio-political elite stepping aside peacefully while the economic engines they tend are still generating wealth?
I recall the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and note that that horse was ridden by the elites until nearly spent. Am I misinformed?
I find more "nonsense" in simplistic expectation of transformation without application of force in some form.
Even the forging of ploughshares requires great heat, and vigorous beating. We do that, by the way. Make ploughshares, and such beneficial things. We actually earn a living making life better. Really.
Not all Americans are blood-crazed sociopaths. I know several who are quite charming.

Submitted by James Taylor 3rd on July 14, 2008 - 5:03pm.


Jeffery ole boy ...no problem mate. "It is impossible to invoke an argument with an enlightened mind"

Perhaps some clarity might help with the feathers I ruffled. Bare with me here...

I will use WWII as a good example. We all like to place the holocaust at Hitler's feet. But was Hitler really the problem? All he did was stand up and articulate some really bad ideas and ten million people applauded and followed. Had this same ten million looked at him and said "Comrade...you are an idiot" and turned away then the Hitler event would have never manifested.

In this event fear was the weapon of choice. It has ALWAYS been the weapon of choice. Spirit knows no fear. Ego loves it. We are fed fear from all angles these days and the looming currency crisis is no exception. I like Neale Donald Walsch's idea to this matter: Nothing matters yet everything matters. Nothing matters since we need nothing on this planet and no particular experience to survive. The soul is eternal. Yet everything matters because your chosen disposition in reaction to any circumstance defines you.

My message was a great deal simpler than you may have perceived it. The U.S. government, hired by us, is using our wealth in a way that defines Americans and what we desire. I have traveled the world many times and there are a lot of people that do not like us very much...simply because of our fear based approach to U.S. diplomacy.

When we all stop fearing we can reallocate the money we spend on our protection to programs to help us...human beings. Personally, I had rather all Americans eat than fight. Perhaps you define yourself differently. I surely used too!

Submitted by Jeffery DeCelles on July 14, 2008 - 7:24pm.

I agree wholeheartedly on the agenda you articulate, James, though I seriously question the utility of nation-states such as the U.S., being of the Deep Green, bio-regionalist persuasion.
I'm all for feeding people, and fighting very seldom, if at all.
Where my research and experience take me, which seems at odds with the picture I get from your post and comments, is, meat matters, the flesh and material existence are of immense importance, in no way secondary to spirit. I admit and embrace Spirit as progenitve, but must proclaim in the strongest of terms that the great wonder and miracle of Being is the ongoing and evolutionary ingression of Spirit into Matter.
If we are somehow akin to fallen angels, this troubled world is poor craftsmanships. If we are seen as risen apes, though, well, not too bad, considering!
I bark so harshly because I sense what seems to me a common yet profound error of understanding: we are not special because of our spiritual dimension, we are special because we are incarnate spirit.
From this perspective I offer, the dimension we may call Spirit is vast, and quite as complex and differentiated as the material world.
Your invocation of Hitler is apt, but I differ in weighting him. He was more than a guy who articulated some bad ideas. He and his crew were very intentionally engaged in psycho-social engineering, using tools from ancient traditions we may call Majick.
Spirit, Mr. Taylor, has a Dark side.
Nice to think otherwise, wish I could, but too much evidence has slapped me upside the head to go for the "All God, all Good" angle.
There are things, nasty things, that don't play well with others, roaming the multiverse, and I strongly suspect that Adolph and the boys hooked up with one or more.
My notion of the proper response to such a cosmology as I have sketched is not fear, but respect, caution, discernment, and rigorous cultivation of skill in navigating the terrain in which I find myself.
One aspect of that terrain which bears directly upon the opening theme of your post, James, is the longstanding practice of ruling elites to adopt a pastoral model in relating to the people they rule.
A moments reflection will reveal the standard moves in pastoral strategy: increase wealth and power by increasing flock size, and harvest from the flock those resources specific to the species. Wool is shorn, eggs are gathered, milk is collected, and ultimately, flesh is consumed.
I offer for your mature consideration the possibility, readily confirmed, I maintain, that the impending financial turbulence is an engineered episode of pastoral management, which will result in a marked enrichment of the Rothchilds and their peers, and a very rough time for most of the "flock".
I offer as supporting evidence the last fleecing, which we call the Great Depression. A little research may disclose who came out of that period better off, while no effort at all is required to see who got screwed.
I'll wrap up by capsulating: Spirit is not simple, Unity is not something the incarnate will experience, awe-inspiring complexity is apparently the Divine Agenda. We are Spirit-In-Meat. Meat has limits.
There is a hierarchy of values, (Plato liked the Good, the True, and the Beautiful), and the correlated polar opposites, (Evil, False, Corrupt?) and these manifest here, on the ground, dirtside, every day in every way.
In the last paragraph of your reply, to which this is response, you write: "When we all stop fearing we can..."
While I do indeed look forward to that moment, the conquest of fear is trickier than just saying "Fear Not!"
The Shepherds know how to handle their flocks. They have over five millenia of practice.
If a man be incensed at being called a monkey, believing himself an angel-in-training, how likely is he to accept the awareness that he and his kin are chattel, that he is the owned asset of unseen lords?
Then again, I could be wrong.

Your warning is noted. There is great truth in the words you speak. But you speak of times past. There is a new energy on the earth. I plan to use it. Remember, that which you give your energy towards, your focus on, feeds it's maturity and manifest. I suppose there is room for us both my good friend.

Submitted by Jeffery DeCelles on July 15, 2008 - 3:27pm.

Agreed, novel opportunities are emergent. We all might be wise to seek the previously improbable, and lean on the lever of intent.

I do speak of "times past", and attest that the past is not determinative, but IS indicative; what has gone before eases the way for subsequent unfoldment.

Rupert Sheldrake's work on Morphogenetic Fields suggests that habit plays a profound role in shaping "that which undergoes the formality of actually occurring" out of the plenum of the possible.

Paraphrasing the Tao Te Ching: That which is recent is easy to uproot. New energy will be shaped, directed, morphed, by templates of thought. Are the templates in place to deal skillfully with change?
Have they been distributed widely, understood, and accepted?

Under stress, I see many humans, myself included, revert to the deepest habitual responses. Big change means big stress to big fractions of the population. Who will point the way to the lifeboats?
Which voices will be heard, when the tempest rises?

I fully concur that attention influences manifestation, but must ask, to what degree? The empirical data from IONS and other rigorous researchers suggests we push but gently on circumstance, unless great gift be ours, by fate or dutiful cultivation. Hope lies in the coherent intent of many. If intent be incoherent, incoherence will manifest. The panic of millions may well overwhelm the beatific vision of the enlightened. Who shall show the Way, that the multitudes may embrace it?

Will Utopia be born from these wrenching spasms? Habit suggests a "Brave New World" is likely, unless the vision be seeded to shift vector.

Chaos has been demonized for five millenia, and now She returns, bearing both Light and Darkness.

I do not fear, but speak the message of caution, all is not assured, uncertainty does walk boldly down every street, and God loves surprises.
