Day 551: Investigating the Image and Likeness of God
So we continue.
My parents were very concerned because I was not willing to accept the Devil or Satan or Demons. And to me God was everything, that was the point I was living, finding out practically what it means to be the Image and Likeness of God.
But at the same time I was exposed to the forces of this world, which includes seeking of pleasure and happiness. This would entail partying hard and exploring sexuality - both of which I did extensively in the endeavour of understanding ‘Why does that feel good’, and ‘What is wrong with it if it feels good’. Isn’t that the whole story of the pursuit of happiness and then if that is what makes you happy, how can what makes you happy, be wrong?
That is a contradiction to the whole idea of being placed here and to explore life within the context of the Image and Likeness of God.
I was quite naive though.
And progressively I found more and more people that would be quite aggressive towards my approach. They did not like the idea of ‘embracing life’ and finding out ‘what’ and ‘how’ happiness truly works. What is the worst that can happen? You are here embracing life. Obviously the worst that could happen is that you could lose everything, everything taken away.
Which is what happened.
So in this endeavour, first points after I studied law was going to the police and even there, the pastoral officers would take me into their offices and discuss, trying to prove to me that Demons and Satan and the Devil exist and they would use the Bible to show that ‘it is written there, therefore it must exist’.
I disagree.
Because obviously the Bible was not written by God, anyone can see that.
And obviously, God being perfect, the origin of all things – God would not create something evil. It must have a different answer.
But according to the Bible there was no different answer, the answer was that according to the Bible and to the people that studied the Bible, the answer was that God created evil as well. Not that it is impossible but, it was improbable because absolute perfection, greatness... hardly the road to evil.
So, by the time I finished with the police and went on to giving myself direction in life, finding a way in which we could change the world forever more to be what God intended. I was very much clearly convinced; in spite of what I saw in the police which was murders and violence and all kinds of things. I saw that more than just an outflow, more just an outflow from the social condition and the lack of resources, the lack of money that caused most of the conditions that I have witnessed in the police. People simply did many of the things out of desperation.
So that wasn’t in their nature, it was just the nature of their situation rather than their own nature. And if they would have had the opportunity and have seen that to have all the resources necessary, they will profoundly change.
The question was ‘Why don’t they have all the resources’, and I was never satisfied with any of the explanations given to me or explaining to me that they have to work and make a profit in business and all kinds of things. Because none of the things really made sense. Having grown up in a business, having worked in it and then later on starting my own businesses, it was very clear that the profit motive was nothing else but making a decision about how much money you want to make, adding it onto the product and then presenting it to the buyer and they either buy it or they don’t. And then you present it to the buyer in such a way that they have no option but to buy it. Or they have no option but to question – they’d have to accept the price.
And then in that way you make money.
We really experimented with that in pricing goods from the very low to the very high. And strange enough, the higher the price, the more valuable it is seen to be accepted by the purchaser and we experimented with extremes situations. Which we became clear, if one, it’s like a predisposition that the human has. They like to pay a lot for things they feel is valuable and therefore all you have to do is to make sure that what happens is that they end up feeling that what they’re buying is valuable. If that feeling exists, they will pay the price because they are satisfying their feeling of value. Fascinating! Highly Effective! Incredible!
Was it actually applied in our Capitalistic System? Unfortunately not.
Because that would have already made the world quite a different place because a lot more money would have moved, a lot less suffering would have occurred. But maybe on the other side with the odds turning against everyone and the world becoming one giant casino where there’s only a few punters making the big bucks while most end up losing everything, that’s maybe the only way we will a better world. We will see.

Day 476: Yoga, Tesco and the Living Income Guaranteed
From this blog onwards we will continue publishing Writings he has done throughout the years – some of it already published, some of it published for the first time online – so stay tuned as we keep sharing the message Bernard stood for.
Also read:
Time for yoga? I'll pop down to Tesco: Supermarket to introduce classes alongside gyms and cookery lessons in stores revamp
For context on this Blog
It is important to Study especially the Progression of the Corporations since the 1970’s, it’s now 40 to 50 years of the very Specific scenario that has slowly but surely Increased the Size of the Corporations and Decreased the Amount of Small Businesses that’s Available in the World. This obviously has had a Major Impact on Wealth because the Small Businesses that were normally Producing quite well and thus Ensuring a Strong Middle Class have all but totally Disappeared. Then within that the Middle Class had to come up with New Ideas to Make Money. This spawned a whole Revolution around ‘New Age Spirituality’ for instance where all kinds of spiritual activities like Yoga and so on were all Commercialized Extensively – the Health Industry came out of it. And slowly but surely, the Corporation crept up on all of these Ventures of the People trying to Make a Living.
The latest one for instance is Tesco, creeping into ‘The world of Yoga’ which will obviously Result in many People that now Make a Living out of Yoga being Unable to Do So and they will end up as Wage-Workers with Tesco being paid Per Hour – from being Independent Businesses to Wage Slaves, simply by an Interesting Principle. The Corporation has got one Advantage that Small Businesses do not have: they have Lots of Cash, Lots of Inventory and thus Access to Cash which means They can Get More Money, while the Small Business Cannot. The Banks Do Not Treat Small Businesses in an Effective Supportive Way, it is regarded as ‘Big risk.’
So, Centralizing All the activities of a Community around a Shopping Mall and within that Big Corporate Stores that Provide All Kinds of things now that used to be in Small Businesses by having it all Warehoused at Central Points and Buying in Bulk – Reducing the Price and thus Reducing the Profit made on the Individual Item – Causing obviously a Major Problem in terms of Employment in the World. This is one of The Reasons Why Capitalism has been Failing.
Now interestingly enough Those Capitalists With Money, Like this Corporate point because They Take the Money and they Invest it in the Shares of the Corporation, the Corporation Pays Dividends and so they Make Some Money and there’s also Capital Gain on the Share Investments. So from Their perspective, They now Do Not have to Work because ‘Their Money is Working for Them’ they are the really Lazy People in this world that want to Protect their Personal Wealth and that Ride on the Back of the Corporation.
There’s also for instance here in South Africa what Used to be a Very good Individual Business was a Bottle Store where people would have in the Community a Liquor Store that would make a Very Good Income for Families, the Licenses for Liquor Stores were very hard to come by because they were so Sought after, because they were So Profitable – and What Do You Know what Happens Next? The Corporations Open Another Division right next to the Food Section for Liquor and soon what happened in South Africa, Many Bottle Stores had to Close, Many People Lost their Income and were Reduced from Business Owners to Wage Slaves working for the Corporation Again. And even in some cases they were Reduced to Packing Food at the Stores or being a Car-guard in the Parking Area – People that used to have Dignity, they use to Have a Business, Pushed out by what is Claimed to be ‘Economic Reality’ which is The Way of the Capitalist – but it’s Not Really because it’s The Way of Monopoly: the One with More Money and Property – that is what Monopoly Teaches us when you Play the game as a Child – They End up With Everything, and that’s what the Corporations are Doing and the People Behind the Corporations are Human Beings that simply looked at ways to Destroy the Competition, just like in the Game of Monopoly, claiming that ‘They are Doing a Service’ because they are Having the Goods Available at Cheaper Prices.
For instance when we do Shopping for the Farm, there are So Many of the Foods that we are Busy Producing on the Farm that we Cannot Produce at a More Cost Effective Rate than What we can Buy it, the Price of the Goods are so Cheap because there are No Labor Costs anymore and there are No Longer Many Families being Supported that we can Get some of the Food at Prices that we Simply Cannot Produce it. Just the water and Electricity Charge, nevermind the Labor Charges – it all is already Too Much and makes Self-Production of Food Expensive.
Now this Problem of Unemployment is going to Escalate even more. Here we now have got the Corporations moving in on the Yoga Fraternity – More of this kind of Incursions will Occur, More and More Jobs will be Lost. All the Bookstores that there used to be in the 1970’s when Families were Running a Bookstore have all moved to Corporations and Now are all Centralized, Monopolized scenarios that Control and Decide What Information You Get, Which Books Get Published, How to Direct the Information Stream so that They can make More Profit, Promoting all kinds of Feel Good Ideas simply because That Benefits them as a Business as well.
This type of scenario obviously Inevitably is going to come to an End because it simply is Not Sustainable and because the Amount of Money that is in Circulation is Reduced through the Actions of the Corporations – although it Looks like ‘More’ in the beginning because People seem to Be Able to Buy – the fact that the Labor is Reduced to Nothing, that whole Value Structure within an Economic System is Lost and Disappears. This Affects the Money Supply in the World, then Inevitably it Affects the Money Supply to the Banks which then end up in Trouble because they simply Do Not have the Amount of Money they would’ve had that Comes into their Money Supply through which they can Expand their Business. And so they Change the Business-Model at the banks with 0% Interest but Now You Pay on Every Transaction, so your Banking Charges work out More than Before when you were Paying Interest. And the Bank seems to be Benevolent because they are Giving you 0% Interest or Very Low Interest Rates but that’s Not the Real Story.
The Real Story is You are Paying More, the Bank they have just Changed their Business Model and Now they have a More Direct form of Profit, they’re Not so Dependent on the Money Supply to be able to Have Money to Lend Out to for instance Small Business Owners, the Small Business Owners Aren’t There anymore. So what happened next was that the Personal Loan Scenario Increased Significantly – now You can get Personal Loans at All the Banks for Significant Amounts, Amounts that normally would have been available for Small Businesses but due to them Not being There anymore, now the Banks are Funding the Individual that wants to Increase or ‘Better their Lifestyle’ through Personal Loans.
Now with the Living Income Guaranteed these kind of scenarios will be Addressed, we can still Continue then If we must with the Centralization of Production and Producing things More Cost Effective. But having for instance the scenario where you have more Spending Power, you’ll Also inevitably End up Creating Jobs again and we May even have the Re-Emergence of the Small Businesses where Ideas could become Valuable again when we Restore the Understanding that Labor Should have Value and it Should Not be Disappearing just because the Corporation is Taking Over the Production and is Depending on Wage-Slaves to Increase their Profit.
It is Suggested that you investigate a Living Income Guaranteed and that One Considers How to bring that to bear within the Political and Economic System in your Country. Action must be Taken because the Situation is Not going to Improve, it’s going to bring More and More Unemployment, faster and faster. It is Necessary to Investigate what happened the last 30-40 years in terms of Employment and you’ll Notice the Massive Loss of Jobs with the Rise of Monopoly: from Game to Reality.

Day 440: Public Relations and Basic Income Guaranteed
Obviously if you want to Understand Public Relations in our current Capitalistic System, better you should read the view of Noam Chomsky which is quite to the point and calls the Public Relations Officers the ‘Experts of Producing Lies.’ Now understand, if you have ever been in a Business where you planned it and you have to work out the Advertising and the Marketing of it, you will know you’re looking for Words to Describe the Product Emotionally and you stay away from the Facts because The Facts are the Few things you have put together within the Product to Produce something unique that can Compete with other Products and there is obviously Always something ‘Missing.’ That’s why for instance a Product’s Warranty is only for One Year now because, in one year’s time – that’s what the Warranty implies – the Product Will Break. And just to keep you in the Illusion that apparently there is some Improvement in the Product there will be a ‘New Version’ but if you have to Take away the Outside Picture and you look at the Inside – take a car, for instance – it is Essentially the same that it’s been before, it just maybe got a new name, a new color and here and there a new feature. But You’re Paying a lot more and it’s Not going to last you, but you are Made to Believe that This Car is a ‘New Model’ or this Cellphone is a ‘Better Model.’
If you look at the timeframe you’ll notice that nowadays they are Releasing a New Cellphone like every few months. You Must understand that in the Design Stage, when they release the Previous Cellphone you Paid a Fortune for, they already have Designed and Planned another Five Models! They were ready with ‘The New Stuff’ – they could’ve just as well Not Wasted so many Resources and Give you the Best Cellphone, but no! They Need you to Buy because there is a Problem in the Capitalistic System: ‘There is Not enough consumption’ But that’s not the Real Problem, the Real Problem is: There’s Not Enough Money because the more and more Products are Outsourced for instance moving it – let’s take America as an example – to China producing it Cheaper, leaving Whole cities in America Devastated with People without Jobs, then Importing the product and selling it Cheaper under the Justification that now the product will be Cheaper so you should be able to Afford it Without Calculating the Loss of Money due to the Loss of Jobs that happened; and thus making that Situation where Less People end up being able to Buy the Product, there’s thus Less Money and the Corporations for them to be able to Survive have to go to the point where they become a Monopoly and they Destroy the Competition, because if they don’t = they simply Can’t Survive. There is simply Not Enough Costumers with Money with the Low Profit Margins that they’re working on. So if we Look at this within the Food Industry, we have exactly the Same Problem. That is why Labeling for instance is Never really Specific, you Never get Real Detailed Instructions and You Never get the Truth about any product.
Now with Basic Income Guaranteed, the Total Scene will Change – Public Relations will be what it Should be, Explaining to the Public the Relationship they will have with the Product and How the Product will Benefit them and How and Why the Product was made in a Better way to Last Longer and to be of Greater Service, Why the Product is Real Value for Money and Public Relations is like the Person that Stands and Ensures that the Public Knows Everything, there are No Secrets and is thus the Face of the Corporation, that is How Capitalism is supposed to function, not all these Lies and Deceit.
And Obviously Public Relations should be Banned from politics, because politics is where the Actual Policy of the Political Party is Explained in Simple Language that Every Voter can Understand and that Public Policy should be the First Thing on the Agenda for Implementation and If the Political Party does not implement it, immediately a Referendum should be held on whether they should remain in power under New Public Policy – that is Democracy. You cannot Change your Word or Go back on your word and get away with it, but the Public has accepted this as ‘Normal’ – Politicians Lie, they Never Keep their Word and that’s ‘Okay.’
In many cases the Corporations are so desperate to Keep Going that they Spend Lots of Money to Ensure that the Politicians Realize one simple thing “The corporations are Supplying a lot of Jobs and therefore the Laws must Protect the Corporations to Protect Jobs” – that’s the Justification that’s used. Not so much the amount of Money only that goes to the Political Party, it is about the Voters able to Vote because Those with Money = they’re Able to Vote; Those on the streets = they Can’t Vote because there’s normally a problem: they don’t have a Fixed Vote, they don’t have the Necessary Documents or they Don’t have the Money to go and Vote – very simple.
Public Relations must Ensure that Those that are on the Fringe that are not Necessarily Controlled by a Corporate or a Governmental Job are convinced by Promises and Hope that the Political Party is going to Produce Something, Ensure for instance that there are Enough Jobs available. If that is achieved, the Political Party will win. Unfortunately All of this is done under the disguise of competition, under the Premise of Monopoly, under the Game we were Taught as children, brutal; and then the Human Factor is taken out and it is called ‘Market Forces,’ ‘Supply and Demand,’ some ‘Magical Holy Spirit’ as the ‘Invisible Hand’ that Determines the Flow of the Economy, which is obviously all Utter Bullshit because if you start studying the Basic Income Guaranteed Proposal as we are putting it together and place what we are sharing on Paper and start to Assess how one Places this Together: you’re going to Notice that a Workable Model with enough money that ensures that the Corporation makes Money, Everybody has got an Income, there is Sufficient Consumption = We can have Better Products, thus the Environment can be Protected, we can Produce more Effective Products, people are not Forced to go into all kinds of Slave Labor Situations. When everything is Produced to last longer at a Price that is Sufficient to ensure the survival of the corporation and to ensure the Basic Income of each person, we have a Sound and Healthy Economic System and We Don’t Need all the Lies and Deceit that are currently going around under the Disguise of Public Relations.
It’ll also make a Massive Difference to our Food, because a lot of the Foods that are allowed to be on the shelves are purely there, Placed by People looking at ways to Make Money to Entice the Consumer. The fact that the Food overall and many cases is not really Healthy is covered up by ‘Bright Pictures’ ‘Shiny Words’ and that’s backed up by the Spirituality of the Person that’s Developed and particularly Designed by Public Relations, creating a Consumption Industry based on ‘Like’ and ‘Love,’ getting you Emotionally Involved, ensuring that Psychology claims that Emotion is Important and Valid without Any Information or Research into How the Mind Actually Functions because If the Mind is Understood = Brainwashing Cannot Happen and the Current System Cannot Continue, that is known! Just not by the people that’s been Brainwashed, they don’t understand even Why they Buy Stuff, they feel like ‘They Like it,’ they like How it Looks, they like What it Does, they Don’t Care that there is Engineered Redundancy within Products just like there is Engineered Redundancy within the Employment Sector and everything is driven by a simple thing called Profit, and that there’s No Real Competition in the markets: ‘Those with More Money will Always Win’ go back to your Monopoly Game, that’s how it works! You’re in this game now, Our Economic System Should Not be called ‘Capitalism,’ it should be called ‘Monopoly’ and You have No Chance in the system, but You have a Chance to become part of a Political Party that Champions the Basic Income Guaranteed – or if that is Not yet in your Country: You Start one and you Become Politically Active and Visit the Voters Door to Door Selling to them a New Economic System, Showing that Their Vote Counts, Understanding that Democracy means 1+1+1 = Every Vote Counts Only Once so You Need a Majority Vote, a Majority of People that Must Understand how Basic Income Functions, that must understand Why the Current Economy isn’t functioning but they Must Understand why there are Big Problems in the future with Pensions for instance, One Must Act Now and Not Wait when the whole system starts Collapsing and New Laws are made and people are Marginalized and You don’t See the Suffering and Poverty, and You may be one of those Suddenly Without Any Support, with Nowhere to go.
It is important that one Becomes Practical, that You Become an Activist which is someone that Takes Action, that’s Activism: acting on the information available when you see there’s a Problem and to Help with the Education of the Public because you’re Part of the Public so that there is One Voice and this One Voice Presents an Answer that Works for Everyone! It is Really Simple if you get down to it. And at the very least If You can’t Do Anything, then at least make sure that Your Money Supports a Solution, it’s an Investment also in Your Future.
Research the Basic Income Guaranteed by the Equal Life Foundation, we are a Non-Profit Organization that Researches and Puts Together Economic Solutions, Educational Solutions. We look at How Humanity can Coexist in a way where there is Real freedom, Real Individual Freedom and Real Happiness and one thing We All Know: Happiness Depends on Money. With the Basic Income Guaranteed: Everybody will have a Little piece of Happiness.

Day 433: The BIG Question
If one takes this to the level of a Parent, Every Parent wants for their children The Best Future on Earth. With the current Application and the Implication of the Way that our System Functions, which is more based on Luck than on the fact that One Has a Birth Right as a Human on Earth to have a Decent Life with Basic Needs Fulfilled. No one that has got these Needs Fulfilled would like to Give it Up and Go and Live in the Conditions of those that Do Not have Human Rights, and this Polarized the System between Haves and Have Nots.
With the Basic Income Guaranteed, which is in a way Positive Capitalism, this problem can be Resolved and a Lot of Unnecessary Discord on Earth – not even to Mention all the Wars – can come to an End because we have a System that Works. War has only become an Easy Way for the Few Elites to Make a lot of Money, utilizing the Slaves through Paying them a Pittance for their ‘Patriotism’ to go out there and Kill People. And all of this just to Support a Weapon’s Industry that is in its Very Nature of Existence a Violation of Human Rights in Every Way.
So, it is Important that One Investigates ‘What Human Rights Are’ for You and then to have a look If You Have them. If You are Lucky Enough to have them, to then also Investigate if Everybody has Got Them and if They don’t = it is to Ensure that They Get Them, because: the Tables May Turn and You may End up on the Other side of the fence, Inside the Concentration Camp of Poverty on Earth, part of the Holocaust of Modern Day Capitalism and Elitism, where one Does Not Care for Anyone but Yourself and where You Use Money as a Dividing Line between Human Rights and Not Having Human Rights.
Inevitably because of Democracy, there is going to be a Change in the System, and Once People Realize that They can Use Politics to bring about a change, that They can Use Democracy/ Majority Rule to bring about a change that is Best for All and They Do it: I am quite Sure that there is going to be some Consequence, because the Violation of Human Rights Certainly Will be Investigated – Even Only in a way like what happened in South Africa after Apartheid, a Forgiveness Tribunal where one Exposes What Really Happened so that you can Learn from it, so that it Never Happens Again.
I would suggest one should rather Get Involved Now, Realize that there is a Change in the Awareness of the Human, the Capacity to Process Information Has Increased; and slowly but surely the Realization that they’ve been taken for a ride through Propaganda and through Manipulation of the Mind = that Realization is Inevitable.
Rather than Waiting till it Happens, which will place one Squarely in a Position where you may be perceived to have been Part of the Violation of Human Rights, One should NOW Act and Take Action. It’s going to take a Lot of Education and it’s going to take a lot of Effort to Help Those that are Stuck, and mostly Those that are Stuck are those with Money – the Rest has been Stuck because They Don’t Have Money and they have to Focus on Getting Money, but surely: This will Not Continue.
Make Sure that You Investigate the BIG Question:
Why is it that Everyone on Earth Does Not Have Equal Human Rights?
Why is it that Human Rights have become a Commodity that Can be Bought with Money?

Day 423: Basic Income Grant and Oil
Capitalism in terms of Where one will then Come up with Ingenuity to Produce something Extra-Ordinary that People Pay More for, should be based on Enhancing the Lifestyle on Earth, thus the Products based on Taking Raw Materials and Creating something out of it. The point of Some benefiting from Raw Materials just because they Apparently ‘Own the Land’ through generations – which in All cases if one Investigates it, it was Always Taken From Someone that Owned it Before, and Those were normally your Natural People that Lived in a Particular Area = that is simply Not Acceptable because that Caused Poverty and that In Fact Anything that is Done in a Way to Limit the Distribution of Resources to the Benefit of the Citizens of a Country is an Act of Treason Against the Country and the Citizens; because the Government at the end of the day Is that which Represents the Citizens and Anything that is Done to harm Citizens = is there to Harm Government which is Indirectly Citizens and so is a Form of Treason. That is unacceptable.
Our definition of what is Legitimate and what is Criminal needs to be Sorted out so that we can Move Forward in a Stable World and Stop All this Abuse that takes place All in the Name of Control and Profit.
There are Simple Solutions to these Problems and there are Easy and Effective Ways with which All People in the World can be Supported in a Very Quick Fashion. The Situation in the World is Growing Extensively where Businesses will Get Into trouble a Lot Quicker; there are Big Problems on the Horizon and Many can ‘feel the pinch’ – The Global Recession is going to Deepen and Get Much Worse, so Action Needs to be Taken Now. And within a Short Few Years One can Have a New System in Place which Only Requires One Thing from Each Human: a Change of Mind, a Change of Heart, to Open your Heart to Also Consider Other People and Not Only Yourself.
Live from the Heart, Dear Ones!

Day 418: Basic Income Can Save Capitalism
This should be Good News for the Capitalists.
So, Before one Reacts or Jumps to Conclusions or opinions you have to Hear out the Whole Proposal. Obviously this Proposal will have to become part of a Political Party’s Manifesto and become part of their Economic Policy and they have to Promote it within the context as presented to Overcome the Objections that are Inherently Glued to the View of the Capitalist.
Now, if you look at George Bush, David Cameron, Obama – they all have Promoted the idea to ‘Save Capitalism’, that there is One thing everybody Must do, they say: ‘Spend More.’ But there’s a problem with what’s happening in the world there are Less and Less Jobs which means People Can Spend Less and less so All the Economies are Contracting because the Money Supply which at the End is Dependent on the Amount of People Participating in the System With Money is Shrinking, so now we need to get a Shrink into the Story about Economics because, seemingly, the Economic Theory did not Expand yet to consider Proper Solutions for the World. So the following is How one Solves the Problem.
In any given country you have Citizens, they are Citizens by Birth and by Birth they Have a Birth right towards Citizenship in that Country. We Propose that that Birth Right should be Including Inclusive of the Resources that are in that Country – for instance, the Mining Resources and Water Resources, Electricity, Cellphones, Telephones… all the points that are Part of that Country originally. But maybe it’ll be possible to only look at the Resources that Everybody Requires and Needs on a Daily Basis which are Food, Water, Electricity and something like the Cellphone, Telephone and Internet. These are things that are already in a Country and they have Intrinsic Value. By Utilizing these Resources you have a situation where Everyone in the Country Participates in Contributing towards the total Turnover of these Particular Resources. If the Price is Set to be Sufficient to Accommodate Sufficient Profit for the Shareholders – which in this case Will Be the Citizens of the Country – which then are Distributed to All those Citizens in the Country that Do Not Have Enough Income as a Basic Income Grant, it is Possible to Set up a System which will have a Very Interesting Effect for all Capitalists. Because Suddenly, All the People in the Country will be able to Spend Money; this will mean the Capitalists that will so to speak ‘Lose Income’ because if they already Own any of these Resources in the Country their Shares will be transferred through Nationalization – to the Shareholders that should have Owned it in the First Place, which are the Citizens; because I mean if you Take Away Anything from the Security of a State and the Security of a State is to Supply and Support their Citizens: you’re Committing Treason. So by Taking these Corporations and Creating them as Private Entities, taking it away from the Rights of the Citizens in fact, Treason has been Committed and this is being done through Public Relations and Cognitive Disinformation, by Control of the Media and I would say that the Media should also be Controlled by the Citizens because the Media in any particular Country is always the Voice of the Citizens. And therefore, All of these Corporations Still Run as Corporations, the only difference is that the Shareholding is in the Hands of the Citizens and it becomes a Matter of National Pride, and they are Managed Properly by People that are Properly Skilled that Do so for the Benefit of the Country.
This can become extremely Valuable Resources in terms of Stabilizing an Economy and Presenting and Producing Sufficient Profit that at the moment as we know, Ends up in the Hands of a Selective Few Elite to such an extent that their Combined Wealth can Stop Poverty in the Whole World several times, which means There is Already Enough Money Created. Obviously what they’re doing is a fascinating thing, in many cases is that they’re Reducing Prices of Products simply to Outperform the Competition which Causes Massive Unemployment in the World, Purely to Make More Money but is justified as saying that ‘By Making Things Cheaper = we’re making it More Affordable for Everyone,’ But I mean if a Person does not have an Income, they Don’t have a Level of Affordability, there is just No Way they can Own it. So when one Takes this Model and you Apply it and you have Each Citizen with a Basic Income Grant, the Citizen now can Spend Money, this Money will normally be Spent at the Normal Corporations that now Supply Goods and Services in all kinds of arenas, that will Increase Turnover, that would Increase Job Creation and that would Increase Profits.
Now you’ll say “But if everybody gets a Basic Income, Who’s going to Do the work?” Very simple, the Minimum Wage should be Double the Basic Income so that the person is Motivated to Not Use the Basic Income Grant but to Go out and Work because That will give them Access to Money to Buy Luxuries as well, because the Basic Income Grant will Not be Sufficient to Buy ‘Extreme Luxuries,’ it will be to Buy the Basics that are Necessary, to Provide the Education that is Necessary, to Have at least One Motor Vehicle to be able to Have the Transport that’s Necessary. And what I Suggest with the Basic Income Grant is that there is also a Subsidy for Homes which is Sufficient to Construct a Reasonable Home because that will not only Benefit the Banking Industry, but it will Also Benefit the Building Industry and so it’ll again have a Knock on Effect in creating Cash Flow which then Creates Money Supply, which Creates an Economy that is Growing and a Happy Capitalist, because there will be Many more Opportunities than what Exists now.
Obviously one of the things that should be Considered is the Standard of Goods – there should be a Minimum Standard and Each Country should have a Bureau of Standards that specifically Makes Sure that the Products Made Available to the Citizens as a Matter of their Birth Right and their Citizen’s Right to Have Goods that are of Real Value, that these Products are going through Stringent Tests, so in that way Ensure the Capitalists don’t just try and Make Profit but Actually Provide a Proper Service and a Proper Product. That will reduce a Lot of the Unnecessary Energy Spending in the World where Things are Just Made for the Sake of Enticing People through Advertising. Therefore, Advertising should be Not Based on Cognitive Disinformation or on Placing People in an Emotional State when they’re Buying, it should be Based on Fact and thus there should be Better Regulation about Advertising so that people are not Psychologically Manipulated, because that is simply Not Acceptable.
Now when you have a System where you have your Basic Job Facilitation which includes from Janitors, to Road Builders to Any type of Job where your Minimum Wage is Double your Basic Income, you will find that There will Be Enough Workers to Do the Work because they’ll Earn More, and Those that Work will have Benefit because they will be able to Buy Better Cars, Bigger Houses and they will thus have a Better Standing in the Community which will Motivate People to Look for Jobs and because Lots More Money is in Circulation = New Businesses will Begin, which will again Offer More Jobs and thus Create more Opportunities for People to Get a Better Income than just a Basic Income Grant – yet the Basic Income Grant Must Be of Such Nature that it is Sufficient for a Person or a Family to Live a Decent Life, One Worthy of their Birth Right as a Citizen. Utilizing it this way, it becomes Viable for the Corporations to Give up some of the things they Control in Favor of Having a Stable Economy that Provides a Lot more Money in Circulation, which Provides a Lot More Opportunities for Profit. And by Doing this, one Reduces Various Factors that Have Become Extreme Problems which are Already being Investigated by projects like the BIG Project in Namibia: If everybody’s got a Basic Income, Crime Reduces, Violence Reduces and People Want to Improve Themselves because they are No Longer Desperate, they have Moved from Desperation to Hope and they Start to Educate themselves Better. So an all-around Effective Solution where one can Ensure then that the Most Basic Human Rights as in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is Actually taken care of, the Capitalists are kept Happy, those that Believe that ‘Some are Lazy and Some are Not,’ are kept Happy because they can now Go and Work and Earn More Money and Leave the Others with Less Money… Basically a Basic Income Grant Is at this Stage a Viable Solution for a World in Extreme Trouble. Bailouts won’t Work, People that Actually want to Send Money to Bailouts should Rather send it to Educating People about the Validity of a System that is a Mixture between Socialism and Capitalism and that Protects the Citizenship of Each Person within a country. And then Between the Countries they can Work out Solutions for Those Countries that’s got Less Resources and Develop them to Also have a Similar Resource Structure which Provides Sufficient Income In House through the Internal Use of for instance Cellphones, Airtime, Electricity, Water, Media, that Sufficient Profit is made out of that to Facilitate the Basic Income Grant so that there is Never any Debt Made for Facilitating this.
This will also Solve another Problem that is going to become Very Big in the next 20 years which is that All the Pensions Will Be Gone because it will Replace the Pension System, there will be No Longer Contributions to those Pensions because a Person will have a Basic Income Grant it will thus, Instead of Money being Invested into Corporations, the Money will be in the Hands of the Citizen. The Citizen will then use the Money to Decide What is Best and Where to Invest it. To All the Basic Income Grant People I would then suggest that that they Save 10% of that Money and Invest it Every Month in the Corporations, the other Corporations that are Not Yet Owned by the Citizens and if All the Citizens do that = Very Soon the Citizens will Own All the Corporations and all the Capitalists would have Made their Profit and will have a System where a Person on a Basic Income Grant will Earn Enough from their Shares in the Corporations that they will get to a point where their Income is Higher than the Basic Income Grant and the Moment that Happens = they No Longer are Dependent on the Basic Income Grant and they move towards Self-Sufficiency.
So, Basic Income Grant will Have to have Certain Rules. One of them being that One shouldn’t Own More than One Car – if you have Two Cars = you have More Money than You Should Have for a Basic Income Grant; and if you have a Job and the Job obviously always will be According to Minimum Wage which is Double the Basic Income Grant = you No Longer Require the Basic Income Grant because you’re now in Self-Sufficiency and that position opens up for another person because One of the things about this World is that there are Always New People Arriving that are going to Need Some Help to Get into the System.
All Education within the System, within a Country should be Facilitated by the Basic Income Grant Facilitation and Because Education is a Calling and not a Place of Profit, all Educators that are Part of that should be Placed on a Basic Income Grant and all Education at University Level, everything should be Free to the Citizens because it is a Human Right to Educate Each One and it is thus Facilitated so that We Have in the Education System Those that Truly do it for a Calling and that are not Doing it for Money, because they are Doing it as a Service to their Fellow Citizens.
Now obviously with the Basic Income Grant there is One Thing that is of Vital Importance: No One in the System, No Citizen will Pay Tax – All Tax will be Facilitated by either Value Added Tax or Sales Tax or Import Duties. If you have a Government System that is not Top Heavy because you have a System where Each One is Functioning Effectively Within the System, You do not Need Excessive Tax, your Tax is spent on things like Roadwork, Transport facilitation – All things that can be handled In House.
One of the things for instance that can work Quite Effectively also in a country is to have a Toll Tax on the Roads which are Managed by the Government and that Keeps the Roads in Place, so according to the Use that one Has of a Road = will be the Amount of Tax you Pay, but there will be in This Proposal No Tax so nobody is going to Pay for Anyone’s Basic Income Grant, it’s coming from the Resource Companies which everybody in the Country are Participating in and your Sales Tax or your Value Added Tax will be According to the Amount of your Participation within a particular System, so that’s a Fair way of Dealing with Income Tax – or shall we say Government Tax Collection. Obviously to Have this facilitated effectively, the Control of it will be Important which means the Total System will have to be Digitized, the Payment of the Basic Income Grant will be via your Bank Card so it’ll be Instantaneous and Society will Move Towards a more ‘Cashless Society,’ but in a Cashless Society where one will have Enough of What you Need and Nobody can Take Away your Income because you are Guaranteed this Income unless you obviously have a Job, which means You have Double Income.
So in this Proposal No matter What Objection One could Possibly have, there will be an Answer, Everybody Will Be Satisfied. It’s a very Simplistic Solution that Brings an End to the Problems that are Now in the World.
Obviously with the Rise of the Machine there’s going to be Job-loss which means there’s going to be Greater Efficiency, which means there’s going to be Less Cost on Input. So if there is Job-Loss = there is Basic Income Grant so the Type of New Businesses that will develop will be Based on Human Ingenuity, the Great Word that the Capitalists Like to Use. So the Capitalists – those that Want to Earn More in the System – can Come up with Great ideas to Create New Employment and so to Uplift People to a Higher Level of Income or Double at least that the Basic Income Grant. So All Desires, All Hopes will be answered and In a way, the whole principle of the Pursuit of Happiness, the principle of Each one being Able to be in a World of Opportunity instead of Just a ‘Land of Opportunity’ of the US, it will be the Whole World that will be a Land of Opportunity, a World of Opportunity where You can Be Anything you Want to Be and the Opportunities are Endless.
Obviously Environmental Policy will have to be Strictly Applied and Wastage will have to be looked at and therefore the Education System needs to be Substantially Upgraded. For that, we also have Solutions because it is Important to Realize that the Human Mind is Programmable. So, We can Program This All into Each Human so that They can Be Happy and Not Worry about what Others Have and rather Work by the Sweat of their Brow to Earn a Greater Living if they Truly Want to.
So the Basic Income Grant solution for the World is a Solution of Equal Opportunity. If you Do Not Want to Make Use of that Opportunity, you’ll have a Basic Income Grant – if you Want to Make Use of that opportunity, at the Very Least you’ll have Double the Basic Income Grant – ‘How Much the Income Grant will be’ will be Worked out according to What is Necessary for a Person or a Family to make a Decent Living – and in this one will Probably have to look at the One thing that Needs to Change which are Currencies, there will have to be One World Currency because the Need for Currencies will no longer Exist, because That is only being used by the Richer Countries to Steal Resources from the Poorer Countries and that’s No Longer Necessary because there’s Enough Money to Pay for it anyway; so, We Don’t Need ‘Exchange Rates’ Anymore , You can have Your Own Money but it is Equal. So If you have the Euro = One Dollar = One Yen = One Pound = One Rand = One Peso – That will Make Sure We have No More Peasants.
It’s obviously the ultimate Patriotic System you could Ever come up with, be a Patriot, Be a BIG Supporter and Remember Capitalists: Here is your Ultimate Opportunity of Making Profit, you will Never have had Such a Good Opportunity before because Now, YOUR ability to come up with the Ultimate Product that Entices the Population to Buy it is now At your Feet – Eat your Heart-out.
Join Big, Be BIG Hearted: it’s Time.

DAY 380: Capitalism is just another Word for Casino
If you study How it Functions, you’ll notice that the Total Objective of Capitalism and its Arm(s) called ‘Consumerism’ and ‘Markets,’ ‘Free Markets’ - Functions on the Premise of Attraction, placing bells and whistles with the promise of a Jackpot. You read any Label, you’ll always See the Promise of a Jackpot, “You are Saving! You are Winning! You are The Best! Have the Best!” – everything all about a Casino. Every Shopping Center is a Giant Casino. You Walk in there and everything is there Calling you out to Do One Thing: to Take your Money and Give you Something of Lesser Value. The same way as the Casino: Only SOME Actually Ever Win.
Now, in Capitalism - the Only Ones Winning, are the ones who Actually Own the Stores, because they are the ones who set-up the Machines and when setting up the Machines (which is the Shops and the Products) - they are the ones that have to Make Sure that they Get People who Gamble on their Product and Hope that it’ll Do what it Promised to do, which obviously it Seldom does.
But, then they got even Cleverer: they Designed the Wonderful thing called a ‘Warranty’ and with that - Designed the point where Responsibility is simply disregarded. So, once the Warranty is Over, you’ve Lost the Gamble, you have to Gamble Again and Buy Again. But, what do you Know? You’re Going to Lose. Whatever you’re going to get is Not going to be Worth the Money. Instead of this whole Gambling thing that was intended as a way to Actually Create Jobs in the World, what did it do? It got the Clever Casino Owners, the Capitalists, Thinking and with their thinking they came up with the BIG Business idea – Big Business means: “We can, by Producing LOTS of Stuff, make it Cheaper and we can put All the Competition Out of Business, Control the Wages we Pay and in the End we are ‘the Good Guys’, because we Give you Something that is apparently Worth Value”- but in the meantime, LOTS of People Lose their Money.
Now, this Law of Attraction of Capitalism is to Attract Money to you by having some form of Product that you Can Sell with a Promise that it’ll Do Something, but in the End it’s Guaranteed (and that’s what the Guarantee says) it’s Guaranteed to Break. But, it’s Sold to you – knowing it’s Guaranteed for One Year, but Actually the Guarantee says: “I Guarantee you this Product will Break In a Year and you’ll have to Buy Again.” Nobody Notices that when you’re Buying, because you’re going to be pissed off when it breaks and then you’re going to want to try a New Brand, but they do Exactly the Same: It’s just another Machine, it’s going to Give you Something Guaranteed to Break, Guaranteed to Not to do the Job you want it for, Guaranteed that you’re going to have to Already Start Working to Buy the Replacement, Guaranteed that All the People used to be able to Make a Living when there was still Competition No longer makes a Living and so more and more Clever Ideas must come out. But, Inevitably, More Laws are Created to Protect the Casino Bosses that’s already got it all ‘Wrapped-up Nicely’ so that you end up having to Settle for a Wage Job. “But, at least!” they say “You Have a Job!” Yes, Employment Has Been Stolen by the Casino Bosses, the Big Business and - We Allow it.
It’s a Lottery now on Earth: If you’re Lucky, you’re Going to Have a Job, you’re Going to Have Income, you’re Going to Have an Education, you Can Have a Home…If You’re Not Lucky: You’re Not Going to Have Any of this.
Now, for the Christians, you better Read your Bible because it says: “You shouldn’t Cast the Lot” - You shouldn’t Be Part of a Lottery. The System that you are Professing and that you Pray to God and Ask Jesus to Provide you through - is a Lottery. Maybe that’s Why the Prayers are Not Answered – Oh! but Some Will Claim it’s Answered, but if you really go and have a look: It’s No Different to the Casino again, you Pray a Thousand Times, then you Got ‘Lucky’ and suddenly Something Happens that is Related to your Prayer and you can say “Wow! God Answered My Prayer!” But, did God Answer your Prayer? No, It Was Just the ‘Odds,’ the Odds were ALWAYS Against you, you’re Always only at the 1% point and 99% of the time you are Looking for that One Percent where you’re going to get Lucky. Then you Blame the ones that‘s the 1% that Owns Everything, the Casino Bosses – How Can You Do That? You Created them, you Allowed them, you Support them, you’re Living with them - you Can’t Live Without Them! If they Weren’t there, you Haven’t Got it Within you to Create a New System, you Haven’t got it Within you to Walk, to Take Part in Politics and Change the World, you Haven’t Got it Within you to Teach your Children How to Not be Brainwashed, you haven’t Got it Within you to Even Remove your Own Brainwashing, because: As long as you’re happy, every Now and Then, when you get to your 1% and you Win a Jackpot, No Matter how ‘Small’ or how ‘Big’ = you’re Equally Happy, because ‘You Won’; and you Don’t want to Talk to anybody else about it. You know the Stories you’re going to Tell is Always bigger than the Actuality. So, on Earth we have it now a Giant Casino with Entertainment going on, Lights, Whistles, Bells and - the Addicts Cannot Stop.
You can Change the Way this Works: Investigate the Equal Money System, Investigate the Bill of Rights of the Equal Life Foundation - Investigate Desteni and DIP Lite and Learn How to Stop the Brainwashing, Learn How to Stop the Control, Learn how to Make Sure that you are Not the One that Ends up 99% of the time Losing and 1% Winning. You see: with an Equal Money System, Everybody Wins a 100% of the Time - that is the Way you’re Supposed to Live. Then it’s Not a Lottery, then it is How it was Intended, Each one as the Image and Likeness of God, Each One Valuable as Life, Each One Happy and Everybody Giving as they Would Like to Receive… but, Imagine: the Only Reason you Don’t Want to Look at this is because You are Hoping for the 1% Chance where you’re going to Get Lucky in the Current Casino. Hear me: that Luck is Never Going to Be Enough. By the Time you Wipe Out your Eyes, You are Wiped Out as well and so it All Comes to an End – the Same Game over and over and over again, Repeating itself. Does Anybody Notice? No. Our Economists that Come and Tell us they’ve got all these ‘Great Degrees,’ they Don’t even See what they are Busy Promoting, because they Get Paid! They Go and Study and do Lots of Degrees and Stuff and they now apparently are ‘Learned People that Know what is Going on’…No, you Don’t. You Don’t Even Understand the Game you’re Part of - You’re Just Part of a Casino, you are Working for the Casino Bosses and you Protect their Interests, because: You Need their Money to Survive. They Control you. You’re Not Free to Investigate the System and Investigate What System will Be Best – You Call it Human Nature? No! It’s Not! It’s Addiction, it’s Not Human Nature – Human Nature deep down would like to Live in Peace and Harmony, Would Like to be Happy – All the Time – Would Like to Know that the Future is Secure, Would Like to Know that there is Food on the Table, Would Like to Know that there’s a Home to go to, Would Like to Know the Children are Educated, Would Like to Know the Children are Safe…that’s Human Nature, it Doesn’t Exist Anymore, because the Addiction to the System as it Now Exist in this Giant Casino has Taken it ALL Over – Are you Going to Be Able to Kick this, Stop this? We’ll have to Wait and See, won’t we? Inevitably: You’ll be Wiped-out.
