John F. Kennedy — 1917–1963
President of the United States, symbol of hope and justice. Murdered for trying to reform the global financial system.
This series was created to awaken a hidden place in the heart. Everyone knows the truth, but it is time to open our eyes. What is happening in the world can no longer be ignored. Adults must listen to and support the young who rise up against emptiness, injustice, and indifference.
For this reason, I chose to revisit public images of historical figures and remember them: so that their voices and their actions will never cease to speak to the present.
It is shameful that, after the death of John F. Kennedy, who had warned the world of the dangers of the financial and economic system, the situation instead of improving has worsened, becoming catastrophic at economic, political, and social levels.
Revelation 6:6 “And I heard a voice from among the four living beings say, ‘A loaf of wheat bread or three loaves of barley will cost a day’s pay. And don’t waste the olive oil and wine.’”
Fiat money, funny money, monopoly money…print, print that money…print it out of thin air.
If you love inflation, you’ll love hyper inflation, and if you love hyper inflation then you’ll love CRASH...BANG…BOOM…oops, there goes the economy…make room for a digital currency and a Social Credit Score System…fun, fun, fun.
The World Economic Forum says that by 2030 you’ll own nothing…universal communism is coming, and Mr. Stalin…I mean, Mr. Antichrist will rule.
The World Economic Forum says that by 2030 the United States of America will no longer be the world’s leading superpower…bye-bye U.S.A. your days are numbered…you won’t be the world’s reserve currency for much longer.
The World Economic Forum calls it a new form of capitalism…hahaha…those commies and their play on words…their words have the opposite meaning. They twist their words just like the devil.
Just like Justin Trudeau, they admire China’s basic dictatorship…woohoo…Credit Score System here we come…just as planned. If you read “None dare call it treason” you will see that the communists were allowed to take over China. Now what if we followed the money trail? What would we find? Satan has been playing chess on planet earth for a long time, slowly making his moves. But once his purpose is done, God will throw him away…bye-bye devil.
A side note on China: The Kings of the East (China and its allies) will take over Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and any other country that isn’t one of their allies. Watch out Australia and New Zealand, weak and asleep, do you think you’ll escape? Once they have consolidated power in their part of the world they will head toward the Middle East. Watch out India, large and populated, do you think you’ll escape? They will kill a third of the earth’s population.
“A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths.” “I heard the size of their army, which was 200 million mounted troops.”
After the Battle of Armageddon when Christ annihilates the armies of the world the Bible says “In that day so few men will be left that seven women will fight for each man, saying, “Let us all marry you! We will provide our own food and clothing. Only let us take your name so we won’t be mocked as old maids.”

There were plenty of these in downtown D.C. the weekend of the World Bank/IMF meetings. This one was idling near the Treasury Department.
Pictured holding a "Corporate Greed" sign during the Oct. 15, 2011 Occupy Augusta march is community activist Rev. Terence A. Dicks of Augusta, Georgia.
Rev. Dicks is the Southern Regional Organizer for the Progressive Democrats of America and its State of Georgia coordinator.
He also holds positions in the Richmond County Democratic Party.
OccupyAugusta did an impressive job on Sat., Oct. 15, 2011 as they marched on downtown Augusta protesting the evil greed that created the current economic crisis.
The bankers, Wall Street traders, insurance industry, politicians proved they cannot be trusted when left to their own devices when the Bush administration made oversight almost nonexistent.
And sure enough when the foxes were in charge of the hen-house it was a slaughter of American jobs, the evaporation of retirement funds, a flood of home foreclosures, sending the world economy into crisis.

Raj Patel whose book Stuff and Starved explored the consequences of our global food system, now critiques the global financial system and how it undermines democracy. The subtitle of the book is How To Reshape Market Society and Redefine Democracy. The correlation between the financial system and the viability of democracy is an important one to make. His witty comments on how our leaders failed to correct for their blindness makes for a humorous read, while pointing out how our democracy is undermined by such "expertise". He points out how our own blindness is instilled by the very system itself while the fallacy of price as a means to measure and therefore value the material world and its resources is more often than not a fantasy of the hopeful and the huckster. This gives him opportunity to explain how externalized costs makes the real price of a Big Mac to be $200.
A little history about how "homo economicus" came into being covers the basic thoughts that created the free market from Mills to Keynes to Greenspan plus the government intervention put into place to offset the cruelty of the market. He rounds off part one with a discussion to correct the notions introduced by the term "tragedy of the commons" and explains that the real tragedy is the theft of the commons. Not only the actual resources, but the knowledge embodied by the local people to direct the sustainable use of the commons for the benefit of their community.
In part two he describes how various communities have fought back, demanding the right to have rights which essentially came down to the right to be self-ruled. He makes the important point that this is not the same as granting people the right to own property for that merely tosses them to the power of the rich who will soon buy their property from them when it is all they have left to leverage basic human needs such as healthcare and education. He offers examples of the democratizing effects of allowing citizens to allocate their own city budgets, the power of cooperatives for economic leverage and how the Zapatistas of Mexico have devised a participatory democracy that he compares to the slow food movement.
Much of this material is covered elsewhere; some of it directly by Vandana Shiva in Earth Democracy. I find I understand more when I read Shiva's explanation of the argument about the commons, but Patel is less inflammatory about who is to blame, so his book comes out as more of a critique of a flawed system that we have all been seduced into accepting. He puts this across by deconstructing what happens when we are offered something for free such as a cell phone or printer. He points out that if democracy is going to work we will all have to put much more effort into nurturing the process by learning how to collaborate in the allocation of resources. So, as well as being summoned for jury duty, we might think about being summoned for budget duty.
In conclusion, Patel mentions Buddhist economics as a perspective that addresses that to be human is to be subject to desire and that the source of human unhappiness is attachment. Thus a Buddhist theory of real value is not somethings "ability to satisfy a craving, a desire, a vanity, but to meet the need for well being. With this in mind, the baubles and fripperies that we're persuaded by advertisers are indispensible for our well-being—the luxury cars, the latest phones and footwear—turn out to be ashen." He then talks about how the Buddhist monks who ordained the trees to save them from the lumber mill, were demonstrating a politics of value by showing the value of trees as sacred in another context other than that of the market. He also mentions a little known fact that the Dalai Lama has declared himself, in a lecture in India, to be a Marxist because it is a more ethical system.
Thus Patel urges us to continue to confront the inequalities in power to make the world fairer which may include direct action that challenges private property Greenpeace style, legal battles definitely and much more imagination, creativity and courage.

The kids were great - and I think they really understand the importance of the movement.
The children understand because it's their future that had been hocked by the greedy elite power structure between bankers, traders, agents, politicians and others who created the economic crisis then jumped out with millions of dollars in golden parachutes.

This seems to be the "news" every day lately.
As I was busy chatting away in Times Square, I looked up just in the nick of time to catch this shot.

The old Pacific Coast Stock Exchange building on the corner of Sansome and Pine Streets, San Francisco. The exchange floor building was sold to private developers and now operates as an Equinox health club, but Wikipedia says the options trading floor in the adjacent Mills Building still operates. Hmm.
