The Dollar Today Is Dead, The U.S. Bankrupt

Dr. Michael LaitmanOpinion: (Giulietto Chiesa, former Italian Politician and Member of the European Parliament): “We are at the beginning of the transition period, which has no precedents in history.

“Today it’s clear that the development within a closed system of resources is impossible: The world has reached the limits of development. Coal, oil, and uranium—all resources of the planet are almost exhausted, and it is only a matter of time before they finally run out. Everything that we are accustomed to will change. The civilization of money will be gone.

“This is a truly global crisis, …which includes the energy crisis. Today we use more water than nature can give us. We produce waste that cannot be recycled. We have changed the course of nature.

“We need to understand that the old democracy is dying. In Europe, half of the population does not go to the polls… It’s necessary to create a new system of representation, and this movement must come from below, under the banner of restraining oneself and one’s lifestyle. We need a cultural, organizational, and political revolution.

“This is not about the starving. But even those who could limit themselves do not think about this because we are manipulated, we are duped! People are turned into instruments of buying. Television tells us 24 hours a day what to buy, that our scale of values ​​is purchasing power.

“We need to nationalize the media because they form the fundamental rights of people and cannot be privatized. It is necessary to nationalize the banks that issue money. We are losing control over money.

“We are the citizens of states. The heads of several leading banks are respectable criminals, more influential than any politicians because they have the real power of money.” (Source: dozor.kharkov.ua)

“Do you agree with the thesis that the main threat to the planet comes from China? ‘No, the biggest source of danger today – it’s New York, Wall Street, and the United States. The dollar today is dead, the U.S. – bankrupt. But they are – bankrupt and well-armed. … The economic attacks against Greece and Ireland are provoked only in order to reduce the sovereignty of the European currency and Europe as a whole. Why is the euro stronger today than the dollar – at least because EU debt is lower than the United States’.’” (Source: rosbalt.ru)

My Comment: More and more people begin to realize that the future is only possible within the framework of the economy of reasonable (necessary) consumption, in complete similarity and balance with nature, in the unity of all people according to the principle of mutual guarantee. We are approaching the point about which Kabbalists talked thousands of years ago.

The Lehman Brothers Effect

Dr. Michael LaitmanOpinion: (Pavel Andreyev, managing director of foreign exchange markets, Broker Credit Service, from vedomisti.ru): “If Greece decides to leave the euro zone, the effect will be the same as from its default—all the creditors will have holes in their balances, the growth of inflation will accelerate, and credit, consumer, and investment activity will drop severely.

“European banks are now experiencing a liquidity shortage since Europe is going through a trust crisis. …Banks of France are especially weak today because they hold the majority of Greek stocks.

“Due to the European foreign affairs intrigues, the decision will be to ‘throw them under a bus,’ as it happened in 2008 with Lehman Brothers.

“The collapse of one large European bank will cause a chain reaction of default.

“Inflation will be out of control, the cost of gold will reach a new historical peak. The picture will be completed with a panic of the population. …And this will be a full-blown crisis, and recovery can take months, and possibly years.”

My Comment: This is not the way things are going to be: Everything will go in the direction of the discovery of the meaning of the crisis and its correction. After all, the plan of nature (the Creator) is to uncover the purpose of its development, to bring humanity to a single system called “Adam.” Economists and leaders will have to learn how to work in a new system of absolute interconnection called “Arvut (mutual guarantee).”

We Need Unity, And It Is Not There

Dr. Michael LaitmanOpinion: (Jose Manuel Barroso, President of the European Commission): “The debt crisis continues to deepen as the European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso acknowledged in his annual State of the Union address.

“‘Today we are facing the greatest challenge that this Union has ever had to face throughout its history. This is a financial crisis, an economic crisis, a social crisis but also a confidence crisis towards our leaders.’

“Barroso warned Europe’s leaders they must work more closely together to prevent the 27-member bloc falling apart.

“‘I really believe that we are today at a crucial point in our history, a moment when if we don’t go forward with integration we are at risk of fragmentation. It’s about political will, a crucial test for our generation, and I am telling you, yes, it is possible to get out of this crisis.’

“Many believe Greece must leave the euro zone for that to happen, but Barroso disagrees. He urged the ECB to ‘do whatever it takes’ to sort out the crisis. He called for a quicker introduction of a permanent bailout fund and more efficient use of the capital already in the current fund.”

Opinion: (Guy Verhofstadt, a Belgian politician, a Member of the European Parliament): “…we must put in place a real economic government in Europe to manage economic and fiscal policies. A senior member of the commission should be appointed as a Europe-wide finance minister, who in turn will lead eurozone economic policy and chair regular sessions of the eurogroup – not just a couple of summits a year.”

My Comment: Europe will become impoverished not because of its fight with the financial crisis, but because it doesn’t strive for unification. They hope that this state, which they call the crisis, will pass like a wave. We are beginning a new stage of the development of society, the whole point of which is the total unity of all people in one desire, thought, and feeling, which is what a single body feels itself like.

Nature will push us to this condition with all its forces, which will be manifested exactly where we should have begun to correct ourselves, but are not correcting. That is, the forces that compel us to change are the qualities that we did not correct in time. Had we corrected them, we would have felt ourselves not under the negative, but under the positive influence of nature (circumstances).

The Advice Of Obama’s Science Advisor

In the News (from Prison Planet): “President Obama’s top science and technology advisor John P. Holdren co-authored a 1977 book in which he advocated the formation of a ‘planetary regime’ that would use a ‘global police force’ to enforce totalitarian measures of population control, including forced abortions, mass sterilization programs conducted via the food and water supply, as well as mandatory bodily implants that would prevent couples from having children.

“The concepts outlined in Holdren’s 1977 book Ecoscience, which he co-authored with close colleagues Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich, were so shocking that a February 2009 Front Page Magazine story 0n the subject was largely dismissed as being outlandish because people couldn’t bring themselves to believe that it could be true.

“It was only when another Internet blog obtained the book and posted screenshots that the awful truth about what Holdren had actually committed to paper actually began to sink in.

“Ecoscience discusses a number of ways in which the global population could be reduced to combat what the authors see as mankind’s greatest threat – overpopulation. In each case, the proposals are couched in sober academic rhetoric, but the horrifying foundation of what Holdren and his co-authors are advocating is clear. These proposals include:

“- Forcibly and unknowingly sterilizing the entire population by adding infertility drugs to the nation’s water and food supply.

“- Legalizing ‘compulsory abortions,’ ie forced abortions carried out against the will of the pregnant women, as is common place in Communist China where women who have already had one child and refuse to abort the second are kidnapped off the street by the authorities before a procedure is carried out to forcibly abort the baby.

“- Babies who are born out of wedlock or to teenage mothers to be forcibly taken away from their mother by the government and put up for adoption. Another proposed measure would force single mothers to demonstrate to the government that they can care for the child, effectively introducing licensing to have children.

“- Implementing a system of “involuntary birth control,” where both men and women would be mandated to have an infertility device implanted into their body at puberty and only have it removed temporarily if they received permission from the government to have a baby.

“- Permanently sterilizing people who the authorities deem have already had too many children or who have contributed to general social deterioration.’

“- Formally passing a law that criminalizes having more than two children, similar to the one child policy in Communist China.

“- This would all be overseen by a transnational and centralized ‘planetary regime’ that would utilize a ‘global police force’ to enforce the measures outlined above. The ‘planetary regime’ would also have the power to determine population levels for every country in the world.”

There Is Food, But No Desire To Share It

Dr. Michael LaitmanIn the News (from business.blogs.cnn.com): “…thirty percent of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost. That’s about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization.

“The developed world wastes 10 times more food than the developing one.

“Basically, the waste of the rich could feed much of the African continent.”

My Comment: Until we correct our attitude towards others, nothing will force us to be frugal with food items with the purpose of feeding others. It is necessary to change our nature, namely: 1. To establish a system of integral upbringing and education; 2. To create an environment that would make us aware of our universal connection and dependence. These efforts will evoke the influence of inner forces of nature (Ohr Makif) and change our nature.

We Are Facing The G20 Again

Dr. Michael Laitman1. The development of computer technologies and automation in developed countries have freed thousands from the production of essential goods and services.

2. The availability of cheap labor in Asia brought the relocation of industry to Asia.

3. In order to avoid unemployment, western governments began to create artificial jobs in public service and to increase consumption, which led to the growth of the national debt.

4. Still unemployment grows because it is impossible to create limitless artificial jobs as the national debt cannot grow endlessly.

5. But the new unemployed citizens demand a solution for unemployment blaming the government and the corporations.

6. The investors don’t invest in industry in such unstable conditions, which causes further growth of unemployment.

7. Because the economy has become global, unemployment is also becoming a global problem.

8. Under such circumstances, it is time to reexamine our attitude to the question of how occupied a person should be and to determine what society would look like under the new circumstances.

9. The unemployed should be regarded as students and their studying should be regarded as work beneficial to society.

10. The studies should include the following subjects: the principles of correct child education, the psychology of family relationships, home economics, the structure of society, the evolution of society, globalization and global interdependence, and global ecology and the need to preserve nature.

11. Changing social consciousness of such great masses will bring about a change in attitude among other parts of society and the media, and the world will advance towards greater harmony and balance between its parts and with nature.
