HISTORY OF USURY

USURY:  the lending of money with an interest charge for its use; especially :  the lending of money at exorbitant interest rates

I am a student of history. I am not a Christian or Jew or
Democrat or Socialist or proponent of any other cult of power. However, this two part interview with Dr. Eugene Michael Jones is a very informative expose of the battle for domination over the minds, bodies, resources of Earth and spirit of humanity.  Men are men.  Financial usury, political power and coercion of every kind are the everyday routine of psychopathic “rulers”.  Religion AND politics are justification for debauchery, murder AND usury.  This is a good reason to study this information.

Eugene Michael Jones (born May 4, 1948) is a writer, former professor, media commentator and the current editor of Culture Wars magazine (formerly Fidelity Magazine).  He was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but he lost interest in it in early adulthood. He became involved in the counterculture of the 1960s. He found little satisfaction after leaving his faith and eventually returned to it after reading The Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton. Jones then obtained his Ph.D. from Temple University.

Jones’s work has primarily been concerned with the relationship between the Catholic Church and secular culture as well as the sexual revolution and the wider cultural effects of the Second Vatican Council. Later work has focused on the historical friction between the Catholic Church and Jews.

In recent years, Jones has focused on and has written numerous articles examining usury and wider economic issues. He wrote a book entitled Barren Metal: a History of Capitalism as the Conflict between Labor and Usury.

HUMAN HISTORY = UNWORKABLE SOLUTIONS

THE OZ FACTORS Audiobook_500“The river of human history  is clogged with the putrid refuse of unworkable solutions to the mysteries and problems of Life: war, ruined civilizations, insanity, mental anguish, drugs, despair, murder, disease, criminality and starvation. We are victims of our individual and collective inability to find workable solutions to these unwanted conditions.  Our humanity has long since been exceeded by the power of the wicked witches of science and government to destroy all life with nuclear weapons, alter our DNA and control our minds with psychotropic drugs and our lives with media lies.The Oz Factors, by Lawrence R. Spencer

Our thoughts and conjectures about life and the universe are often based on assumptions, unproven theories, hearsay, rumors and misinformation.  Decisions we make in life may be based on ancient attitudes and archaic practices.  Marketing spin replaces honesty when the financial, political or religious vested interest of wizards and witches are more important than freedom, sanity and survival.  There are 12 common denominators that  prevent observation, understanding, and workable solutions to problems of existence.  How do each of these “Oz Factors” influence our history, science, philosophy, our lives and our future?”

THE HISTORY OF HUMANS ON EARTH

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

If we all lived in a country like India where reincarnation is a fact, rather than a fantasy,  we might realize that human beings are spiritual beings trapped in biological bodies who have been repeatedly reincarnated with no memory of their previous incarnation: amnesia.

It is obvious that human beings do not learn anything from history: we  continue to repeat the same insane behaviors life after life: military madmen preach war, bankers covertly create economic chaos, priests make man-made religious superstition, sexual perverts pose as philanthropists, vicious criminals murder repeatedly, insane politicians create starvation, disease, privation,  and governments produce stupidity, pain and mystery.  These are the conditions that have prevailed throughout the history of the human species.

Is it not obvious that human beings on Earth are spiritual beings — sane or insane — who are suffering from amnesia?  What other explanation is there for the repetition of insane and self-destructive human behavior during thousands of years of human history?

What is the remedy?  Remember who you really are.

THE PEOPLE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

Plato made the following statement 2,395 years ago.  It seems that “the people” never change:
The Politicial Icon
“The people have always some champion whom they set over them and nurse into greatness.  …this and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.  When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other in order that the people may require a leader”.

Plato  Greek: (423 – 348 BCE) was a philosopher, as well as mathematician, in Classical Greece. He is considered an essential figure in the development of philosophy, especially the Western tradition, and he founded the Academy in Athens, the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Along with his teacher Socrates and his most famous student, Aristotle, Plato laid the foundations of Western philosophy and science.

Plato’s dialogues have been used to teach a range of subjects, including philosophy, logic, ethics, rhetoric, religion and mathematics. His lasting themes include Platonic love, the theory of forms, the five regimes, and innate knowledge, among others. His theory of forms launched a unique perspective on abstract objects, and led to a school of thought called Platonism.”

RELIGIONS: THE ENEMY OF HUMANITY

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

It can be argued, convincingly, that Religions have been responsible for more  war, death, chaos, mayhem, superstition, cruelty, stupidity, slavery, theft, murder, criminality, disease, torture, sexual perversion, rape, and ignorance than ANY other influence upon Humanity.  They have betrayed, conquered and  slaughtered hundreds of millions of human beings during the short history of human beings on Earth.  Do NOT take my word for this.  Do YOUR OWN research, and discover for yourself who are the REAL ENEMIES of Mankind…..  In this short video, Stephan Fry delivers an excellent diatribe on this subject.
