"Tad" is insane.

It cost me $4.75 to FedEx a letter.

If you don't mind the cost of mailing a letter increasing by more than 1000%, then "Yes", by all means, let's privatize the Post Office. :(

Shall we also account for the cost of "overlap" to have a half dozen "private" mail delivery services all covering the same ground?

The Secrets of Oz

I had a chance to view the Secrets of Oz. I did not realize that Baum’s “The Wonderful World of Oz” was a clash between Republicans and their love for the rich and the Democrats who were more interest in the populist. I cannot share this video in detail because it was packed with many ideas and issues. I kept notes and I will try to highlight the video from my notes.

Americans are being robbed blind. We are headed for a depression that will be a mother load of all depressions. Banks are hijacking the people. Banks can create money and debt. Debt and foreclosures of homes are enslaving average Americans. Fiat money is not backed by precious metals. We have a fight between cheap money and gold money. Being indebted to the bankers makes our economic system worse! Plutocracy is being ruled by the rich. Only the government should create or issue the money at low interest rates or no interest. Banks want the private banks to create money.

Andrew Jackson was the only president who was able to pay out our national debt. He knew the Republicans wanted to divide our nation. Abraham Lincoln wanted the government to create or issue the money. He sought to create no interest lending of money to the people. Private banks have always sought to control the quantity of all the money. The fight was between who should create or issue the money – the government or the banks. After the death of Lincoln the banks again controlled the money. Recessions and depressions are created by the private banks who manipulate the money supply. Private banks are continuing to manipulate the money supply. Private banks want gold to back the money supply. Since gold is scarce, the money supply can be manipulated with more ease upon average Americans.

Private banks did not want the return of Greenbacks. If people controlled the money, that would mean less profits for these private banks. The wealthy have always been able to manipulate the money supply. We currently have a few powerful people who are controlling the money supply. These private banks create panic in terms of recessions and depressions. The presidents in the 1800s were assassinated because they wanted the government to create and control the money supply. With private banks controlling the scarce amount of gold they can easily manipulate our economy. The private banks push the idea that gold is the good money.

Private banks hate average Americans and they consider average Americans as inferior persons in our economic system. Foreclosures of home make it easier to control the people. High credit card interest rates also control the people. Throughout American history private banks have always sought to control the people and these banks have always fought to keep our government from creating and printing the money. Gold restricts the money supply because gold is scarce. Scarce money means the banks can inflict high interest rates upon the people. We are in a depression. By reducing the gold supply and a depression can be created. Government and silver can increase the money supply and you have economic prosperity.

What are our solutions at the federal and state levels for American economic prosperity? We need to create more commercial banks. Commercial banks can only loan the money they have and not borrow the money from private banks who can levy outrageous interest rates. To lend out money you do not have is a form of counterfeiting and counterfeiting is a crime. With private banks refusing to loan out money is a form of blackmail and blackmail is a crime. The government can print more money at low interest or no interest. It should be illegal to loan out money created by our private banks that is created by debt and the banks have created this debt. We have criminals loaning out the money.

States can create their own banks as commercial banks. Commercial banks can be circulating money without increasing our debt. Commercial banks can put the money in the hands of the people. State commercial banks should be modeled after the Bank of North Dakota. The bank of North Dakota and the state of North Dakota have a surplus of money.

There will always be a battle between private banks and government. Banks create printed money and charge people outrageous rates. The government can create printed money with low or no interest rates. Low or no interest rates will keep more money in the hands of average people. Will America and Americans be able to break free from the control of private banks, high interest rates, and our ongoing debt? Private banks keep our citizens confused. A solution is government issued money. Who controls the quantity of gold money will rule over the people. We must take away the power from private banks. Plutocracy means being ruled by the rich and to enslave average Americans. The people or government must be able to crate and print their own money. With private banks creating and printing the money supply at high interest rates that means we are also increasing our debt. We will be paying $700 billion as interest on our debt. State banks must model themselves after the Bank of North Dakota. We need to break away from the private banks who blackmail Americans through fear. We will also need to print Greenbacks and circulate silver. Private banks can be blamed for hunger, poverty, disease, and misery throughout the world with their policies and practices of scarce money supply, high interest rates, and the ongoing debt. The Federal Reserve Bank was created in 1913 and no one can audit their books. American taxpayers bail out private banks and the people are unable to look at the books of the Federal Reserve Bank. This bank can be robbing us blind and we have no control over its practices. Robbing people of their money is a crime but no one is going to jail.

My concern with the proposed privatization of the Post Office is voter fraud. As more communities eliminate polling places/voting booths and move to all mail in ballots the opportunity for voter supression by private companies delivering/collecting ballots is obvious.
