Introduction. Imagine a world with ‘Money as a thing of the
past’! With the clock wound back all of 70 years so there are only a few
computers again!
The current
worldwide recession (I share the increasing views of many commentators that it
is a Second Great Depression that may last years if unchecked by a world
government initiative) started life as the tritely and glibly misnamed ‘credit
crunch’ back in September 2007. Banks
stopped giving out vast amounts of cheap credit – around that time the long
term bubble in massive and escalating property prices on both sides of the Atlantic, also burst.
Since then world
stock markets have collapsed in a series of drastic falls, notably in September
2008, a year after the start of this ‘credit crunch’ cum Second Great
Depression. Now the world and its
leaders are both apportioning blame as ever, often quite wildly, and grasping
onto straws to find ways to get the apple cart of the world economy upright and
working again. Was it all greedy bankers’
fault – or was it greedy homeowners?
They ask!
My own answers are
extremely radical and totally mind-blowingly
far-reaching: -
o
A
lot of the problem is the vast over-proliferation of a population of nearly
totally uncontrolled, unregulated, computers,
especially in this 21st Century, way beyond in Size and Complexity,
the ability of their designers to actually control their design. Above all the Internet! As a computer systems designer who first
worked on them using paper tape and cards back in 1971, I find the current
generation of systems (a) far too complex and BIG for anybody alive to
understand let alone manage (b) since ‘9/11’ and the ensuing war on terrorism,
involved in a global system of control and alleged so-called ‘security’ that
serves no human being any more – only the ‘Great God of MONEY’! Something described in my own book
‘Scientific Proof that God Exists’ as described and sold at www.silee.me.uk is now required to deal with
this ‘computer-money complex’ that is now totally out of control and threatens
to destroy all world prosperity – then peace, as a direct result.
o
I
propose here what I proposed there – a ‘CCCCCC’ or ‘C6’ – a ‘cool, calm,
collected complete computer census’! Computers were invented between 1937 and 1939
as weapons – the first digital
electronic computer was based at Bletchley in England throughout the Second World
War. This ‘Enigma Machine’ enabled
Britain and so the Allies to break the code of every single German military
radio signal during the war – and had Prime Minister Winston Churchill taken
this work much more seriously, it has been said that the result could have been
a far quicker ending of that terrible conflict.
The man who published the original design was one Alan Turing, a
predecessor of mine at King’s College, Cambridge. He got into a lot of trouble with the homophobism of the then Government about his very
precocious early blatancy about his homosexuality – and the resulting
persecution eventually drove him to suicide.
I am very glad even in this day and age, that I do not suffer from
either his homosexual or suicidal tendencies!
o
I
claim in a future world where we ‘put the genie of these computers’ back in the
bottle the only computers we would need are these limited forms: -
o
(a)
Calculation, measurement and control devices – but ONLY where humans cannot
match the performance, accuracy, complexity or need for health and safety of
these (b) Word processing and
graphics (c) Music (d) CONTROLLED communications (e) MORE (much) control over stored information
(data)
o
The
KEY to causing such a
counter-revolution would seem Luddite and backward were it not for the radical,
totally idealistic, crazy to some, nature of my own solution to the
ever-worsening Second Great Depression of our 21st Century, totally
out of control and unregulated, ‘computer-money complex’. That is: -
o
Problem – (the love
of) Money is the Root of All Evil
o
Only Logical Answer
– ABOLISH ALL MONEY!
o
The
next two sections, (2) and (3), describe the main problems of this
‘computer-money complex’ as I see them.
The first of these should be blindingly obvious from the very
description of money by the slang phrase ‘filthy leukah’
but will shock and terrify most people!
In remaining sections, firstly in most I describe the ‘Ideal money free
world’ in all its aspects – and secondly confine my attentions to religion and
even a biblical basis for all of this – to just a few sections at the very end.
o
To
summarise: - the ‘Root of all Evil’ was planted by The Devil
right at the very start of things. Satan
invented money. For the last 70 years,
computer automation has rocketed in importance and fallen correspondingly
massively in price to the point of the current Second Great Depression having been caused by a ‘computer-money
complex’ that no longer serves people – only the Great Gods. The Original Great God of Money – Satan’s
Offspring, the Root of All Evil, remember – and The New Second Upstart Great
God of IT - Machines or Technology.
o
It
is time that humanity took this Second Great Depression as a golden opportunity
to make a massive step in growing up
- into a wonderful New World! As we see in this Manifesto, if we Abolish
All Money, that is the only catalyst we need to provide, to create a world free
of poverty and greed, yet full of opportunity for all on a truly equal
basis.
o
This
Booklet is termed a Manifesto on the cover even though it transcends all
political views, which are largely money-based.
It is a Manifesto that seeks to Marshal a whole Movement of a Majority
of Like-Minded Minds! (an MMMMMM??!!) To do
the following. To dig up the ancient,
hoary, cobwebbed, part rotting, part fossilized, it is so old, Root of All
Evil, Money Itself, dripping with oceans of the blood, sweat and tears of
generations of the poverty-stricken, ironically most of them alive today! Do not burn it but completely destroy it in a
very modern way indeed – recycle all
the metal and paper of the coins and notes, and re-cycle the plastic of all
debit and credit cards! Then computers
could easily be re-bottled like the genies or Evil Spirits that they are – only
to be let out again under extremely controlled circumstances! The ones that were scrapped would also
provide a wealth of recycled materials – especially gold and other precious
minerals and metals.
1.
Money and computers
are filthy – they carry most germs!
“Filthy leukah”! “Filthy rich versus filthy poor”?
In the next two sections (2) and (3) I give
my two principal, both devastating objections to the worlds of ‘cash’ and ‘the
computer-money complex’. The first, in
this section, will probably strike you as common sense, but nevertheless
something you will almost certainly never have thought of – because society
makes money so sacred a Sacred Cow – that is actually very shocking. Consider: -
· Whenever you give
and take money in a shop, those notes and coins will have been handled by
dozens and hundreds of people in their time, many with infectious
diseases. The dirt on those notes and
coins, built up increasingly with age, carries toxic, infectious, microbes, bacteria, viruses and other microscopic
germs!!!
· Money is filthy!
Your average wallet, purse, or pocket of money is absolutely riddled
with disease and germs!
· Especially these
days, with ‘chip and PIN’ keyboards replacing signatures, the same is only
slightly less true of debit and credit cards – 20 people an hour touch the same
keyboard to enter their PIN, passing on infectious germs and so diseases!
· So what about the
cash till operators? They typically do a
two hour shift, handling not only the toxic infected money – but all of the goods being sold!!! Then their shift changes because
operating a cash till is only allowed for a certain
amount of time because it is intensive i.e. very stressful. Another cash till operator uses the very same cash till
keyboard – spreading even more germs and disease!
· The same is true of
computer keyboards worldwide, for the vast majority of these are shared between
company employees and members of families and their friends at home!
I am a ‘heavy’ smoker so am well aware of
the current fierce coercion in my own country England, to initially ban all
smoking in public places that started two years ago, obviously with the long
term agenda being to outlaw smoking altogether.
However I feel that the Government led health warnings on tobacco could
be used even more urgently on money –
notes, coins and cards. This would
take place in a ‘grass roots way’, with at first families, then towns and
villages, declaring themselves to be ‘money free / cash free / credit free
zones’ which would be vastly more effective than such communities in the past
rather ‘pissing in the wind’ by declaring themselves rather pointlessly to be
‘nuclear free zones’. Finally whole
states and counties, then whole countries, would become ‘cash free zones’, in
this New World.
Bank notes, debit and credit cards, and
keyboards would initially be marked with the chemical skull and crossbones
symbol for ‘poison’, and be inscribed with the warning,
“Contains toxic, poisonous dirt, microbes,
bacteria and viruses”
Coins are too small for such a warning
message – but the ‘tails’ side could have stamped on it in yellow and black the
same ‘poison’ skull and crossbones warning…
In Volume C Part 1 of my book ‘Scientific
Proof that God Exists’ as featured and sold at www.silee.me.uk
I quote in full, for it is frighteningly dangerous and straight out of a ‘1984’
or ‘666’ world where people would become just numbers – a conspiracy theory
posted on the Internet in 1997. This
detailed an alternative to abolishing money that goes completely the other way
– into an open invitation to tyranny and state control. This would involve implanting a computer
containing all their financial details under the skin of every man, woman and
child!!!
My own approach to dealing with the
problems of money being dirty and unhygienic – it gets worse, see the next
section – is the human, humane approach compared to the above ‘Beast 666’ one…
So – maam.org.uk would like to see this
sort of desperately over-needed measure introduced first in my own country, the UK.
So I address Her Majesty The Queen in Person :
-
“Ma’am! Message from MAAM! Read on for the rest gets better and better
after this! Then get your current
government of whatever slant to read this too – and all of you abolish all money starting here in the UK!”
2.
Money and computers
are just filthy dirty middle-men! Money
and computers underpin our ‘Modern 21st Century World’ – but it is
unbearably awkward, clunky and inhuman!
The oil of human relations would run rich in a world freed of both!
We have just seen one frighteningly real
problem with both money and computers as they co-exist in their 21st
Century ‘computer-money complex’. We now
turn to look at how these two middle men, the terrible twins in this
conspiratorial takeover of the world of the last 70 years, increasingly in the
last ten years, seem to have brought it nearly to a diabolically awful
conclusion since 11th September 2001 – ‘9/11’ and George Bush
Junior’s ensuing immediate launch the very next day of the infamous ‘war on
terrorism’. So let us compare the world
now with ten years or so ago, and see how in the Name of Progress a ruinous
state of affairs has nearly finished emerging.
I have not pursued my original career in
computer systems automation for twelve years now, through ill health that
largely amounted to severe abuse (and five elapsed years in awful hospitals) by
a series of totally arrogant yet incompetent Doctors. I have continued as a spectator to the
development of computers, now mostly using them at home to write this and a
series of books as at www.silee.me.uk and
www.lulu.com/authormeuk .
So please do not think I am some kind of
‘Victor Meldrew’ character when you read the long
list of severe gripes below with the ‘system’ as it has now emerged and seems
likely to produce only even more of the same dire sort of world. It is just that I have long since lost any of
my initial enthusiasm for computers, but it is they not I that are turncoats,
for far from their initial purposes mostly for noble purposes 70 years ago –
now they only mostly serve the ‘computer-money complex’. My list of severe gripes is as follows: -
· Using the telephone
to talk to representatives of more and more organizations, especially
commercial ones, has become, and is becoming, increasingly fraught. You usually now get a ludicrously positive,
beaming, robot humanoid voice, terribly terribly
well-spoken, not a real person. You are
asked to push a series of buttons supposed to home you in on the option you
want to address when you deal with them.
Then all too often one of two things happens: - (a) you discover to your
horror that this phone call is being answered in a completely inhuman automated
way – there is no possibility of actually talking to a human being not a robot humanoid voice
interpretation machine that often mishears you or hangs up unexpectedly! (b) You wait ten or twenty minutes listening
to that company’s taste in piped muzak ‘on hold’ –
most irritating when they play the same (depressing?) muzak
track over and over again! Then when you
finally get through to a human voice, and ask a slightly difficult question not
on their computer screen, they say ‘do you mind if I put you on hold for a
moment?’ which turns into a further ten or twenty minutes, far from ‘a
moment’! They are really saying, were
they honest about it ‘I do not mind putting you on hold for ten minutes when I
say ‘a moment’! You are footing the
phone bill and we ensure it is a premium rate number so we get a large payment
from the phone company from your bill – for keeping you on hold!’
· Another form of
‘computer-money complex’ phone abuse, also just keeps getting more and more
common and intrusive. Increasingly when
my phone rings, it is no friend, not even a real person on the far end. It is a recording of another robot humanoid,
pleasantly inviting you to buy their service or pay for everything apart from
the actual fare of the Mediterranean Cruise it claims you have won! I don’t like con artist robots ringing me up
like that!
· My third and final
example of what I regard as phone abuse is the familiar phrase once you
actually get through to customer services and real people. How often have you heard this, “Sorry please
ring back in a few hours! Our system is
down!” Whereas the first two problems
above are really just symptoms of a now fully emerged “Culture of the
computer-money complex” – the “system down!” problem speaks to me, as a
Chartered Computer Systems Engineer with a long history of actually designing
fully 100% working computer systems years ago, of a much deeper problem, as
follows: -
· Probably even now,
still the worst offender in this is the very market leader, whom I will
ironically name by my affectionate term for them in this discussion: ‘Megabollox’. The
above company will have been sold their computer system, either to replace a
previous paper based system, or more likely these days, with the march of time
and such ‘Progress’ – an upgrade to an earlier version of such a system. Megabollox have
caused an entire sales culture of selling new computer systems by appealing to
the buyer with the sheer quantity of ‘bells, whistles, gadgets and gizmos’ that
come with it – generally termed ‘features’.
The trouble is testing all of these vast quantity of such ‘features’ on
just one system so they all always work together or in unison, not just in
isolation from each other. Again Megabollox have started another major notorious trend with
their software – they release it to a naďve gullible Joe Bloggs
public, barely tested beyond the pre-production ‘beta’ testing phase – and let
that public, already hard sold yet another ‘jazzy, exciting Megabollox
product’ do most of the testing for Megabollox
instead. Yet for Megabollox,
have they already done everything technically feasible seven years ago in 2002
with their ‘Windows XP’ product? They
were immediately assailed by a dodgy army of hackers, and had to spend the next
five years introducing literally thousands of security features to stop Windows
XP attracting viruses, worms, and other assaults. That was five years that stopped Megabollox introducing Windows Vista as a ‘replacement’ for
Windows XP – but it backfired. Problems
were, as I could see them when I bought a laptop briefly with Vista Home Basic
installed on it in 2007 when Vista emerged:-
· Initially and for
some months, one could not make Vista run any
software that ran on Windows XP – apart of course from Megabollox
software. All software manufacturers
apart from supreme arrogant Megabollox had to rapidly
produce new ‘Vista compatible’ versions of
their packages, at vast expense.
· However hard I
tried while I had my Vista machine, I could not for the life of me perceive any
real difference technically in the
internals from its predecessor XP that I knew very well. Megabollox emphasised the ‘front end’ or ‘(hu)man-machine interface’ and indeed that seemed to be where
absolutely the only differences lay.
What a let down after waiting all of five
years – just to get a cosmetically slightly ‘sexier’ system!
· Yet the biggest
problem with Vista, its downfall it was to turn out, was that some of these
‘front end’ features required vastly more sheer computing power and resources
than were available on most machines then and even now – especially some of the
more ludicrously ‘snazzier’ features like three dimensional graphics.
· Overall then, with
Vista Megabollox were ‘flogging a dead donkey’ by
presenting this cosmetic, resource-flogging successor to Windows XP falsely as
an advance. The marketing hype certainly
led hundreds of thousands of gullible punters to do what Megabollox
coerced by dropping all their support of XP once Vista
had been launched. They coughed up the
large license fee often only to feel stranded by the above three problems and
by the usual cynical Megabollox ploy of using the
public as guinea pigs to find most of the deeper and more subtle ‘bugs’ or
faults in the new Vista Operating System.
· Yet Megabollox are planning to flog the dead donkey even
further into its grave, as it were, by shortly bringing out yet another new
version of Windows beyond XP – called ‘Windows 7’! Yet the price/performance ratio for the
computers it would run on bottomed out at last to Ł300 for a complete computer
vastly more powerful than one a tiny fraction as fast and powerful and large –
just 30 years ago – when home computing was unthinkable due to the cost and sheer
size of machines then. Plus many
computer pundits have pointed out that computers are very near the limits of
their design capabilities – due to the limitations of physics itself – they are
rapidly approaching a point where ‘quantum effects’ prohibit them getting any
smaller and more compact. For all of 70
years, all world governments have given computer designers a total free rein
solely in the name of ‘Progress’ and ‘economic growth’ - whereas computers now
actually contain most of the world’s wealth!
It is surely time for computer people
everywhere to admit it: - “Come on lads and ladettes
– the game is up – the world governments have at last got wind that they have
been taken by surprise by us computer nerds for all of 70 years now – so have
let us get away with our blue murder of IT technology! The game seems to be up – we have to admit to
them that everything possible that can be done with conventional computers has
already been done. No, we have not
succeeded by any stretch of the imagination in creating a single conscious i.e.
truly intelligent computer in that 70 years and our Star Trek dreams of
intelligent robots might be one day achieved if ‘quantum computing’ ever really
ceases to be just a pipedream – but that is remotely unlikely. Our long term vastly expensive game seems to
be up!’
· My other book
‘Scientific Proof that God Exists’ – see www.silee.me.uk
- starts off with three papers that demolish any notion of the conventional
computer design first originated by Alan Turing in 1937-38 producing
consciousness. It has a ‘yes’, a ‘no’
and a “don’t care” state – where is the fourth and vital missing ‘care’ “state”
of any emotional sentient creature? – and I include
most animals and birds and sea creatures in that! No, conventional computer design, so its
price to performance ratio, have reached opposite peak and trough respectively
for some years now. A great time to
reverse as much of the damage as possible – for the Cool, Calm, Collected
Complete Computer Census or CCCCCC (C6) I mentioned earlier – at the same time
as laws are passed worldwide to outlaw and criminalise
money!
· Have computer
systems really peaked? Or is it not
rather the case that they have gone way beyond any reasonable such peak –
especially in the vast wastelands of cyberspace that constitute the newly
arrived and already nearly world dominant Internet? I speak as a medically retired Chartered
Computer and Instrument and Measurement and Control Engineer, who from 1975 to
1997 regularly used, where regularly millions of computer ‘bytes’ are totally
wastefully used today, a few hundreds or thousands at most of such bytes of
program – to achieve a perfectly working, hand
crafted not machine-butchered result!
In a nutshell, I have to work with the Internet to write and promote my
writings, but LOATHE it. I find it
glitzy, trashy, grossly inefficient and slow, unreliable – and very often
either sleazy (with invasions from pornography sites and / or viruses etc.) or
even sinister next to totally respectable (Marks and Spencer are apparently on
a par with sites run by Al’Quaeda terrorists!) Above all there is a total lack of central
control by any government’s laws as the Internet grandiosely transcends all
International Law, so totally frustrating the efforts of international
governments everywhere to regulate the Beast.
My own proposal is the CCCCCC as we have seen. A bottom-up grass roots approach of a global
census of all computer equipment would tackle the problem of the Internet for
world governments by taking out the lower supporting ‘bricks’ of dangerous
individual computers first. Come on
world, do yourself a favour – carry out just such a
CCCCCCC!
· As spending
literally hours glued to a computer screen and ‘surfing the net’ has become
commonplace in recent years with the Internet, not just as once the domain
solely of ‘computer nerds’, so we see, as this growth of ‘cyber space’ has
taken place, a parallel loss of interest in most of society in ‘real’ not
‘cyber’ games, sports, shopping, crafts and other recreation activities. Yet I have a derisive term for much of the
Internet as ‘tinsel town’ – unreliable information, illegal drug sites,
likewise extremely dodgy pornographic sites that often attack you with viruses
etc. All totally unregulated of
course. International laws on the
activities on the Internet, as we just said, are desperately required. As I have found, perhaps the most annoying
thing that can happen is if your email address enters the public domain. Then expect a torrent of emails for
‘guaranteed’ get rich quick on the Web schemes, pornographic sites, and now the
latest craze, adverts for non-prescribed Viagra and Cialis
male sex enhancement drugs – none of which give a way you can stop them being
sent to you.
· The Millennium saw
a new phenomenon, initially in richer chains of shops, but now nearly
everywhere. Where once the only sound at
cash desks in shops was the sound of the cash till, now there is a cacophony of
new sounds. The multiple electronic ‘peeps’
as laser armed cash till computers salute all the ‘666’ based UPC barcodes on
all the items of merchandise as they ‘scan’ the codes (with a ‘6’ at either end
and a ‘6’ in the middle – ‘666’ which has been The Imperial Number since
Emperor Nero of Rome in AD 70 founded his Society of Odd Fellows – since long
developed into the Freemasons and now New World Order!) My book ‘Scientific Proof that God Exists’
spends all of Volume B and Volume C Part 1 largely investigating this bizarre
subject of the number ‘666’ which is mentioned in the final book of the Bible,
the Book of Revelation Chapter 13. See www.silee.me.uk for details of my book and
how to get hold of a download or printed copy at reasonable price…
· Money could be
described as “the world’s oldest and most fiendish weapon for controlling resources and people and all living
creatures”! Since 1939, exactly 70 years
ago, with the first computer, it has been joined in what has nearly been
perfected as what I term the ‘computer-money complex’. I studied computer science at Cambridge University 1978-79 and our then
Professor Maurice Wilkes had worked on the first Enigma computer in that
terrible war. One day he told us a
totally apocryphal tale. He and a senior
colleague on the project took a walk together near the computer at Bletchley,
then the only one in the world still remember, just after the War ended. “We might need another one of these by the
year 2000” was the incredibly lacking in foresight remark they made – just look
at the uncontrolled supernova explosion of computers since, now in every walk
of life! That first computer led a wave
of such computer ‘weapons’ into a ‘computer-money complex’ with the ancient ultimate
weapon of money, into whole undreamt of ways of controlling resources and
people and animals now. Yet like all
weapons of war and military methods, both are almost unbearably clunky, awkward
and stiff, middle men only – both inanimate servants that would dominate, with
absolutely zero inherent intelligence!
They threaten to throttle humanity once and for all as they have caused
the current Second Great Depression. My
own views are radical – we need to Abolish All Money and put its ally the genie
of computers firmly back in the bottle – all before it is all too late. The rewards if we do that are huge!
· That is the end of
rather a ‘diatribe’ in some places against money and computers – now with their
“computer-money complex” having caused directly the Second Great Depression of
2009. In the next 20 sections or so, I
will be necessarily a lot briefer – because I will trying
to imagine what the world would be like (dare I say will be like one day?) when
money has been abolished – and the genie of computers put back in the
bottle. Nobody can fully imagine this,
so I will be sensible and confine myself to what the initial changes might
be. As a young boy, I thoroughly enjoyed
the Narnia Books of C. S. Lewis, and will paraphrase a ‘shout of joy’ in the
final book of the series – The Last Battle.
He greatly reassures us that when the world finally ends, a New World
will absolutely immediately appear, ready made, and
as the heroes of the story enter this New World they cry out for joy. In a world with money gone and computers
shrunk back to their own original size in importance, would the shout be,
‘Higher and Further!’ then become ‘Ever Higher and Ever Further!’?
3.
Resources and
possessions. No more force of
economics! No more “haves and have
not’s” – everybody happy!
In most of the rest
of this Manifesto I look at how the world would at least maybe start to be
should we as a species, probably initially in small pockets, abolish all money,
i.e. abolish all cash and abolish all credit.
That is right: - a world with no money, no cash, no credit, I say again,
zero money, zero cash and zero credit. A
money-free, cash-free, credit-free world!
Would resources and
possessions just disappear in this New World? Of course not – but they would simply have no
financial or monetary value associated with them or price tag. They would instead revert to their essential
‘intrinsic value’ which Karl Marx called their ‘use value’ in his essay ‘the
fetishism of commodities’ in his famous book ‘Das Kapital’
which I quote in my own book ‘Scientific Proof that God Exists’ at www.silee.me.uk .
A money-free world
is the only way to achieve the great
Noble Aspirations of many of mankind to have a fair distribution of wealth i.e.
in That World, only resources and possessions, with no financial strings
attached any more. Neither Capitalist
nor Communist – but Utterly Liberal with capital U and capital L! It would almost automatically apply two principles
from the words of Jesus in the New Testament in the Bible: -
· ‘Seek and you shall
find’
· ‘Ask and you shall
receive’
In our 21st
Century world it is possible to get hold of anything you could possibly want in
life – at a price. In a world where
‘money was no object’ – where indeed money no longer existed! – all you would
do was seek your heart’s desire till you found it – in papers, magazines,
books, TV, radio as now – and whatever rump was left of the Internet after the
CCCCCC I keep advocating. With no money
involved, nor indeed would there be any primitive barter unless you absolutely
wanted to thank the person with whatever was your heart’s desire. For you will simply ‘ask (for it – politely!) and you will receive - it – totally free of charge!’ in Our Brave
New World.
Really it would be
that easy. Fascinating is it not?
4.
Food, clothing,
land, housing and furnishings, comfortable environment (decent lighting,
temperatures, air, water and sanitation) – all our essential basic needs would
become free for all – even in the undeveloped world – the very least that this
incredibly simple proposal offers after the abolition of money
Forget “seeking and finding your heart’s
desire, and receiving it if you ask politely for it” for a moment. In our present 21st Century World
there is an ever deeper growing global “Rich – Poor Divide” and the vast
majority of the world’s burgeoning population is born into a planet where they
do not even have the very basics – as in the title of this section, as I see
them.
Finding a way, as many leaders and
politicians try fruitlessly to do, to find ways round the stranglehold of the
‘computer-money complex’ today to reach out and actually give the majority of
the world, these basics that some take for granted, is impossible!
To Abolish All Money is to create a world
where there would be an immediate global rescue operation from West to East and
North to South – literally - to provide at least the above basics to absolutely
all of the world’s population. The
Western and Northern Hemisphere actually already have all the adequate
resources – it is only the money itself that is currently the only obstacle to
absolutely a global panacea!
Taking money itself out of the ‘equation of
the world’s current mess’ – gives you instantly, literally, a panacea to all of
the world’s problems. As we see in the sections
that follow…
5.
Work, agriculture,
shops and industry. How about a five day
week – five days on five days off – in two shifts?
In a world free of money so of the ‘money
motive’, at first there might appear to be no incentive for any at all of these! However: -
· Work would become optional or part time or full
time as you wished – the majority actually enjoy the
right sort of work! It would be a golden
opportunity to abolish not only unethical money but unethical and onerous forms
of work. Also wages!
· Agriculture would of course remain essential – but
would be able to be cleaned up, with global ‘slash and burn’, ‘cash crops’,
Genetically Modified Food and Factory Farming, etc, abolished. All food would become free so far more exotic and varied.
Everybody could enjoy a healthy balanced diet – free!
· Shops would only lose their cash tills and
become ‘Ware Houses’ – with everything in them again free!
· Industry would lose all money, cash, credit, and
most computers in this equation. A golden
opportunity for it to clean up its act – to become vastly ‘greener and cleaner’
overnight – as many politicians now are vainly trying to achieve!
· An opportunity to bring in a logical five day
week – a 365 day year of 73 weeks with 30 days in each month apart from 35 in
December to allow for the ’12 days of Christmas’! Such a ‘Numera-Logical
Calendar’ (New Universal Millennium Eclectic Rational and Logical Calendar –
phew!) is explored in every detail in my book ‘Scientific Proof that God
Exists’ as at www.silee.me.uk
6.
Walking, road,
rail, sea, air and space transport
Of these, all not
just walking would become totally free!
Yippee! Imagine the drive there
will have to be to put non-green cars, motorbikes and busses off the road,
non-green trains, ships, planes also out of action – and to stop everybody
taking off into space!
7.
No more need for
banks, taxes, gambling, casinos or Stock Markets – or charities or state
benefits on the other hand…
In a money-free world this would speak for
itself.
9.
The Law – very
little crime; so punishment; left possible!
About all that
would be left of The Law would be the Ten Commandments of the Old Testament
plus the Two Great Commandments of the New.
These are, to refresh your memory, ‘Love your neighbour
as yourself’ and ‘Love the Lord your God with all your soul, all your mind, all
your spirit and all your heart’.
There might well be
two graded punishments, for people still using money after it was abolished, as
follows: -
·
‘Insane
about money’. Sectioning in a mental
hospital.
·
‘Violently
insane about money’. Detention in the
psychiatric wing of a prison.
Both punishments to
involve nasty, rough, toxic tablets and injections administered as now By Law until
the prisoner were cured completely!
The basic precept
of British Law according to legal practitioners themselves, as The Law has been
developed largely by the Victorians and spread to most of the rest of the
world, is:-
“Possession is nine
tenths of The Law”
These days that
might be better put as: -
“Possession is
99.9% of the Law”.
In a cash-free society the only law related to possession would be the
Commandment ‘Do not steal’. The Law
would revert Centuries, Millennia, to an original precept of the Ten
Commandments of Moses on Mount Sinai:
“Personal crimes are Nine Tenths of The
Law”
Finally
the Ten (Twelve?)
Commandments would be supplemented by new ones – taken straight from Buddhism:
-
·
“Do
not hurt, abuse, or even offend any living creature”
·
“Believe
only what you yourself know to be true”.
10.
Local, national and
international Governments
As I said before, it is inevitable that the
way to the first ‘Father Christmas State’, the first of a World Union of such ‘Father
Christmas States’, would be very grass roots indeed. ‘Money free zones’ would lead to money free
villages and towns – then finally money free
states and counties, and ultimately the money free
country then countries. I will now take
a tongue in cheek look at what would happen to my own country’s government here
in Britain,
when this finally happens. Government,
both local and national, would be elected but unpaid and voluntary, completely no longer to do with money and as we just
saw, as a direct result, with far fewer laws to worry about. It would drastically shrink to just deal with the
few remaining things that local and national government would be left to do in
a money-free world, of a Father Christmas State:-
· The Treasury and
the Bank of England, like all banks, would vanish. They would be replaced by a Ministry of Joy, Humour
and Generosity.
· The Home Office and
Scotland Yard and The Police would have far fewer laws and crimes to deal
with. They would become the Ministry of Wisdom, Reason and DEEP
THOUGHT!
· Any Father
Christmas State like that, especially eventually in a World Union of Father
Christmas States, would as we see soon enjoy complete world peace, so the Ministry of Defence
would become the Ministry of Grace,
Peace, Love and Creativity (formerly known as hanky-panky!)
· The NHS would also
now offer free hairdressing, chiropody and beauty treatments – a Ministry of Health and Beauty!
· I am open to like
humorous suggestions to my email address simon@maam.org.uk
for what to merge social services and the Department of Work and Pensions into
– something along the lines of The
Ministry of Silly Walks (as immortalized by John Cleese
of Monty Python’s Flying Circus in the 1960’s) but thoroughly up to date
and 21st Century, original – and topical! I may well offer an appropriate prize for
this!
11.
Multinational
cultural and language differences and Travel
The first
money-free zones, then towns and villages, and finally Father Christmas Regions
or Counties, and finally the first Father Christmas State, would obviously be
tourist attractions. They would have to
turn away travelers who were would-be immigrants – and tell them to travel back
to their home town and ‘spread the word’ and make that into a money free zone
too!
12.
Trade; the fair
distribution of wealth once money were abolished; the end of the Great
International Rich-Poor Divide
Money free zones
would exchange goods free (not barter –
that would be very backward-looking) without any trade. The first full Father Christmas State would
probably indeed be a very advanced country like my own country of Great
Britain, and give goods away and expect like treatment in return – setting a
dramatic example until the full World Union of Father Christmas States were
established. Once that happened there
would naturally, as I said earlier, be a free rescue operation, from North to
South Hemispheres, and West to East – fully global – International Rescue!
The International Rich-Poor Divide would naturally vanish, almost
certainly in months or even less!
13.
Children and
families
In any Father
Christmas State, it would be Christmas every day of the year – Without
Price. Naturally, all families
especially children, would be over the moon!
14.
Poverty and debt
obsolete – personal and national
As each Father
Christmas State got established, two things would naturally happen: -
· A fair distribution
of wealth as in resources and possessions would take place – all poverty would
be abolished
· All debt would be
cancelled out – as there would be no money!
15.
Teaching and
Education
· With money no
longer any object, the children, and as necessary adults of the whole world
would for the first time all receive a decent education.
· Money would either be
taught about as a history subject only, like computer systems – or best
forgotten about totally as a Very Bad Thing?
· Everybody would
enjoy their education, teachers and children alike, totally unlike the present
regime around the world!
16.
Science and Technology,
especially regarding information
· With money no
longer any object, again, a dream of many scientists and engineers could be
achieved very quickly – Science, Engineering and Technology could be completed and finished off - everything
possible would have been invented and put to good use. My own book ‘Scientific Proof that God
Exists’ as at www.silee.me.uk is very
much a move towards this immediate goal.
· The big exception to this would be the CCCCCC I
have mentioned before – this global computer census would ‘put the genie of
computers back in the bottle’ and global laws would be passed limiting the
scope and size of computers drastically!
17.
The Arts
· With money no longer
an object, yet again, works of art would lose all financial value so only
retain their intrinsic or ‘aesthetic’ value as art.
· In the Age of
Leisure that would come once work was done in five day on five day off shifts,
and even be purely optional and voluntary, The Arts would flourish. Drawing, painting, photography, cinema,
pottery, textiles, graphic design, architecture, etc, etc, would all flourish –
a New Renaissance?!!
18.
Entertainment and
communications: - post offices and services, radio, TV, (mobile) telephones,
papers, magazines, books; information and computer technology, and the Internet
All of these are grossly over developed and would come
under the auspices of the same CCCCCC as for computers – to rationalize and
simplify them, and change ‘300 channels of crap’ on TV, for instance back to
far fewer, far higher quality output channels.
19.
Sport, Recreation
Activities and Holidays
As for the Arts, in
the Age of Leisure that would come these would all become accessible to all,
and to a large extent would enjoy a Renaissance – especially with computer
games and TV drastically ‘having their respective genies put back in the
bottle’ as discussed already several times.
20.
Health, Beauty,
Hygiene, Safety, Medicine, Hospitals, Legal and Illegal Drugs, Social Services,
Welfare, and Care For The Elderly
· The one bad thing
here, illegal drugs, would simply and naturally go out of business once the
drug barons lost their entire money motive!
· All the other
things in this list would be free for all – under the umbrella of a ‘Ministry
of Health and Beauty’ as proposed before.
21.
The Environment;
Natural Resources; Environmental Health.
Global Warming, ‘carbon footprints’, pollution, climate change all made too a ‘thing of the past’
The money motive, nearly
everyone agrees, is the main reason for the wholesale destruction of The Global
Environment – for centuries if not millennia.
With that Money Motive abolished if and when we abolish money, an
Environmental Renaissance would happen too!
22.
Nature and Wildlife
With money
abolished, and a New Age of Leisure, we would all have much more time, and the
motive, to appreciate Nature and Life in General, much more. Would we clean up the whole planet?
23.
Politics replaced
by true leadership
Politics could be aptly
described as ‘electing leaders to act mostly by consensus’ in the grim art,
mostly, of ‘raising taxes then working out how “best” (which political view
predominates, determines this) how to spend them’. In a world without money everybody would much
more ‘be their own leader’ or ‘be their own Jesus’ and it would be a much more
mature, grown-up society all round.
24.
World Peace and
Security replacing Permanent War
One major long term
objective that nearly all politicians today are agreed on is of course the
cause of World Peace. World Peace would
indeed come as naturally as Day follows Night were money abolished – money and
to an extent religion cause all wars!
25.
Sexism, sexuality,
homophobia, ageism, racism, etc, etc
Everybody would have enough of everything
they needed – initially the basics, worldwide, to be followed by luxuries of
course. Everybody would be recognized as
‘equal but unique and different’ –
and these isms and phobias would soon vanish!
26.
Stresses and
Strains, the Pace of Life and Mental Health
Life would be far
less full of stress and strain with no money to worry about! If everybody lived comfortably and above all
for free, with no longer any ‘money motive’ to goad us all on, especially with
work optional, the Mental Health of The World would drastically improve. Mental Illness might well even vanish
entirely!
27.
Human or spiritual
values and freedom of choice. Religion –
is it affected at all?
· There are of course
a huge number of religions, faiths, churches, and sects and denominations
within them in this World today. They
mostly exhibit huge differences between each other to outsiders, and some have
most peculiar practices, especially in this supposedly modern 21st
Century.
· The Christian
Churches, judging from their speeches this Easter 2009 just gone, do at least
vaguely agree on one thing – the ‘spiritual life’ is much to be honoured and sought after than money and material
possessions. Yet ask a cross section of
faiths and churches what ‘spiritual’ actually means – and you get an infinite
range of answers!
· Anyway, according
to the Bible, the Day on which Easter is currently celebrated – Easter Sunday –
is wrong - a day early! Jesus ‘rose on the third day’ – Easter Monday
– as his mother and Mary Magdalene discovered when they found his tomb empty
‘at the start of the week’ – Monday, three not two days on!
· My own book
‘Scientific Proof that God Exists’ as promoted by www.silee.me.uk seeks to find a religion
that is common sense, logical, provable scientifically. In fact it is Buddhist – I seek to ‘believe
only that which I know to be true’.
· This book proposes
that Spirit is a (Set Of) Quality or Qualities.
The Holy Spirit, then, is just the ‘Ultimate Set of Qualities’. Unlike the leaders of the Christian churches,
who deal regularly in money yet affect an utter dislike of it, I feel that
people need possessions but not money to go with them. Just because one of Jesus’ sayings was ‘a
person is not measured by the number of his possessions’ does not mean that
having personal possessions is fundamentally wrong or even evil, as these
Church leaders implied at Easter. It is
just the middle-man, money that is wrong and evil – in fact, the Root of All
Evil!
· Religion freed of
money would contract and simplify itself, quite naturally, and find a much
simpler consensus between faiths. It
would go through a great peaceful revolution, in fact.
28.
The biblical basis
of the census then abolition of most computers – on top of all money! The Book of Revelation chapters 15 through
19.
Volume B of my book
‘Scientific Proof that God Exists’ gives fresh, literal translations, and a
near 99% fresh interpretation of the great Apocalyptic Parts of the Bible. Part 1 is about the last book of the Bible,
Revelation. Parts 2 and 3 cover the Book
of Daniel and the book 2 Esdras 11-12. In all three parts of this coverage I point
out how the infamous ‘666’ system mentioned before is common to all three sets
of writing.
In this section I
reproduce below my own translation, and brief words of
interpretation when otherwise I regard the text in Revelation as fully self
explanatory, of chapters 15 through 19.
If you wish to read all my version of that infamous last book of the
Bible, as well as the other two, see www.silee.me.uk
and download or purchase a printed copy of my own book as above. In the meantime I summarise
my own interpretations from that book of the first 14 chapters of the Book of
Revelation, to set the scene for giving the five chapters 15-19 in full after
that: -
Chapters 1-3. Set the scene; and an ‘angel-messenger sent
by Jesus from the Kingdom of the Heavens’ dictates seven messages, mostly
severe reprimands, to the seven early churches in Asia.
Chapter 4. John is invited actually inside Heaven –
through a door, nothing stranger – to witness the very throne-room of God!
Chapters 5-6. the ‘slain but risen Lamb of God’ (i.e. Jesus) opens the
first six of seven seals of a New Covenant.
I believe the ‘four horsemen’ that appear as a result symbolize the Four Seasons!
Chapter 7. An elaborate
description of 144,000 saintly folk: ‘those that have come out of The Great
Holocaust’ that follows in Revelation.
Chapter 8-9. The
seventh seal is opened and six angel-messengers out of seven given them, in
turn blow trumpets causing some Apocalyptic Event in the Future as then i.e.
the past as now. Firstly an
angel-messenger without a trumpet causes a loud explosion, which I believe
corresponds to the invention of gunpowder (in China)
hundreds of years after St. John
saw this vision. Then the seven
angel-messengers are I think all scientists of the last few centuries: -
(1)
Charles
Darwin, ‘the father of evolutionary theories’, who published his notorious book
‘the Origin of Species’ in 1869
(2)
One
of the pioneers of splitting the atom in 1916, Michael Rutherford
(3)
Albert
Einstein, pioneer of relativity, after observing the behaviour
of radioactive material
(4)
James
Clerk Maxwell, principal pioneer of early work on electricity and magnetismThe team of a fallen star and this fifth
angel-messenger in 9:1-2 seems to correspond to the discoverers of the
structure and importance of the ‘molecule of life’, DNA – Francis Crick and
James Watson
(5)
9:13-19
to me accurately predicts likewise, computers and TV Screens – the former
invented by Alan Turing in 1937, the latter by the Scot John Logie Baird at a similar time.
Chapter 10. The ‘mighty angel-messenger’ here is not
one of the seven with a trumpet – and from the detailed description seems to
predict the great leader of Great
Britain during the Second World War, Winston Churchill. The mystery of the words of the ‘seven
thunders’ here then seems to be that they said ‘first world war and second
world war’!
Chapter 11.
A symbolic but complete and precisely accurate prediction of the events
of ‘9/11’ – 11th September
2001 in the USA especially New York!
Chapter 12.
A woman that I can only take as symbolizing the Holy Spirit as a Mother Figure
gives birth to a ‘world leader child – of The Second Coming’ which most
commentators agree on. As a result She is severely persecuted by the Devil, who is cast down
after ‘War in Heaven’ with Michael and His Angels, in that famous Battle of
Evermore. Is this going on right now,
given my own view about Revelation 11, and does it involve the ‘war on terror’?
Chapter 13. Mentions a Beast
with an ominous number – 666.
This is impossible to summarise in just a few
sentences – see my book as described below which lends the whole of its Volume
B and Volume C section 1 to discuss this ‘Supreme Imperial Number’ as it works
in the world even now – stronger than ever?
Chapter 14.
The final lead-up to the final chapters of Revelation, of which I give chapters
15-19 in the same literal translation below, as in my book. The 144,000 of chapter seven (ambassadors of
the approximately 144,000 languages
in the world today?) appear again, as do several more powerful
angel-messengers, starting off the action in chapters 15-19 that follow.
As for this entire pithy summary above,
full details can be found in my book ‘Scientific Proof that God Exists’ as at www.silee.me.uk . I now give the text in full of the next five
chapters of Revelation 15-19 along with my commentary – which is surprisingly
pithy – just as in my book as above.
REVELATION
CHAPTER FIFTEEN
1. Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful, seven
angel-messengers with seven last plagues, for with them the wrath of God is
ended.
2. I saw something like a glassy sea mingled with fire, and those who
had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing on
the glassy sea, with harps of God. [The
glassy sea mingled with fire, is a description of all semiconductor as in all computers! They stand on it – i.e. have defeated
it!]
3. They sing the song of Moses, the slave of God, and the song of the
lamb, saying, “Great and wonderful are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty;
righteous and true are your ways, king of the nations!
4. Who will not fear and glorify your name, O Lord? Because only you are holy, because all the
nations will come and worship before you, because your ordinances were made
manifest”.
5. After these things I saw, and the shrine opened in heaven of the
tabernacle of the testimony,
6. and
the seven angel-messengers came forth out of the shrine, with the seven plagues
out of the shrine, clothed in bright clean linen, with golden girdles round
their breasts.
7. One of the four living creatures gave the seven angel-messengers
seven golden bowls full of the anger of God, the living unto the ages of the
ages.
8. The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from
his power, and no one could enter the shrine until the seven plagues of the
seven angel-messengers were ended.
REVELATION
CHAPTER SIXTEEN
1. Then I heard a great voice out of the shrine saying to the seven
angel-messengers, “Go and pour out the seven bowls of God’s anger on the
earth”.
2. The first went away and poured out his bowl on the earth, and a
foul and evil sore came on the men with the mark of
the beast and worshipping its image.
3. The second poured out his bowl onto the sea [i.e. the glassy sea
of semi-conductor!] and it became like the blood of a dead man, and every living
soul died, of the things in the sea. [i.e. all programs and ‘artificial intelligence’!]
4. The third poured out his bowl onto the rivers and the fountains of
the waters; and they became blood [i.e. all circuitry
in computers!]
5. And I heard the angel-messenger of the waters saying, “Righteous
are you, the Being Now and the Having Been, the holy one, over those you judge,
6. because they shed the blood of saints and prophets, and you have given
them blood to drink. It is their due!”
7. And I heard the altar saying, “Yes O Lord God the Almighty, true
and righteous are your judgements”.
8. The fourth poured out his bowl onto the sun, and it was allowed to
scorch men with fire. [as the computers melt as above]
9. They were burnt with a great heat, and they blasphemed the name of
God, who had the authority of these plagues, and did not repent and give him
glory.
10.
The fifth poured out his
bowl onto the throne of the beast, and its kingdom became darkened, and they
gnawed their tongues from the pain,
11.
and they blasphemed the God of heaven from their pains and sores, and
did not repent of their works.
12.
The sixth poured out his
bowl onto the great river Euphrates, and its
water was dried up to make way for the kings from the rising of the sun.
13.
I saw, issuing out of
the mouth of the dragon, and the mouth of the beast, and the mouth of the false
prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;
14.
for they are demonic
spirits performing signs, which go forth to the kings of the whole earth, to
assemble for the war of the great day of God the Almighty.
15.
Behold, I am coming as a
thief! Blessed is he who watches and
keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and men see his
shame.
16.
They assembled in the
place called in Hebrew Armageddon.
17.
The seventh poured out
his bowl on the air; and a great voice came out of the shrine from the throne
saying, “It has happened!”
18.
There were lightnings and voices and thunders, and a great earthquake
occurred, such as has never been since men were on the earth, so great was that
earthquake.
19.
And the great city was
split in three parts and the cities of the nations fell. And God remembered Babylon the Great, and gave her the cup of
wine of his anger and wrath.
20.
Every
island fled, and no mountains were found.
21.
A great hail, a talent in size [50 kg!] came out of heaven on men;
and men blasphemed God for the plague of the
hail, because the plague was exceedingly great.
Notes
on Revelation 15 and 16 relating to the near future
as I add this paragraph on
Tuesday 24th May 2011
What
follows now are scientific facts that indicate that the above chapter 16 of the
Book of Revelation may refer to the imminent future as of 2011 – in 2011-2018
peaking in 2013 or 2014?
· On Monday 2nd August 2010 two massive solar flares left
the Sun and struck the Earth directly and bathed it in electromagnetic radiation
the next day, the Tuesday. The only
effect of this was to greatly enhance the Northern and Southern lights – aurora borealis and aurora australis.
· However scientific records indicate that this is only the start of
unusually fierce solar activity engulfing the Earth.
· Roughly every 155 years much greater solar activity than this in
flares occurs. The last time was 1859,
when all the primitive telegraph systems then, were shut down by it.
· Scientists warn that all the computers and satellites our age of
technology now depends on, will come under threat once these solar flares get
to their greatest size – very soon – 2011-2018; peaking in 2013 or 2014?
· So this description of imminent problems for information and
communications technology (ICT) correlates exactly with chapter 16 above of
Revelation. The final verse 21 even
seems to me to predict all the satellites falling down!
REVELATION
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
1. Then one of the angel-messengers who had the seven bowls came to
me, and said, “Come, I will show you the judgement of
the great harlot seated on many waters,
2. with
whom the kings of the earth committed fornication, and the dwellers on earth
became drunk on the wine of her fornication.”
3. He carried me away in Spirit into a desert. I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast,
filled with names of blasphemy, with seven heads and ten horns.
4. The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, gilded with gold and
precious stone and pearls, with a golden cup in her hand full of abominations
and the unclean things of her fornication,
5. And
on her forehead was written a name of mystery,
BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE
ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6. I
saw the woman being drunk from the blood of the saints, and from the blood of
the witness of Jesus. When I saw her, I
wondered greatly.
7. But
the angel-messenger said to me, “Why wonder?
I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast carrying her
with the seven heads and the ten horns. [the beast is
the phrase wanton materialism (seven
vowels – heads – and ten horns – consonants) with the double meaning of the
‘beast and false prophet’ of Revelation 13 – the empire of materialism
‘witnessed’ by its sister empire of IT or television. Overall, mass production has evolved in the
last two centuries out of manual labour to produce
the modern ‘Babylon’ materialistic Empire of
‘the world’ – as opposed to ‘Israel’
– i.e. the ‘true good spirit of humanity’ in its most global meaning].
8. The
beast which you saw was and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss
and go to destruction.
9. This
needs a mind with wisdom. The seven
heads are seven mountains, where the woman sits, and seven kings:
10.
Five have fallen, one is, the other
has not yet come, and whenever he comes he remains only a little while. [The seven mountains are the seven hills of Rome,
which as we soon come to see in Parts 2 and 3 of this Volume B of this book, is
where the modern “Empire of Babylon of wanton materialism” started. The seven kings are prophets. The first five are
the great prophets of the Old Testament: Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and
Daniel. The one ‘who is’ – Jesus. The seventh is Father Christmas!]
11.
The beast which was and is not, even
he is an eighth, and is of the seven, and goes to destruction. [astrology / alchemy / witchcraft]
12.
The ten horns which you saw are ten
kings, who have not yet received a kingdom, but are to receive authority as
kings for one hour with the beast.
13.
These have one mind, and give their
power and authority to the beast.
14.
They will make war with the lamb,
and the lamb will overcome them, because he is lord of lords and king of kings,
and those with him are called and chosen and faithful”.
15.
He said to me, “The waters where the
harlot sits, are peoples and crowds and nations and
tongues.
16.
The ten horns which you saw will
hate the harlot and make her desolate and naked, and eat her flesh, and consume
her with fire;
17.
for
God has put it into their hearts to do his will, by having one mind and give
their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are accomplished.
18.
The woman which you saw is the great
city which has dominion over the kings of the earth”. [Babylon
is MONEY, THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL]
REVELATION
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
1. After
this I saw another angel-messenger coming down out of heaven, having great
authority, and the earth was enlightened from his glory.
2. And
he cried in a strong voice, saying, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and become a
dwelling-place of demons, and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of
every unclean and hated bird,
3. because all the nations
have drunk of the wine of the anger of her fornication, and the kings of the
earth practiced fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth became
rich from the power of her luxury”.
4. Then
I heard another voice out of heaven saying, “Come you out of her, my people,
lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues;
5. Because
her sins were heaped up to heaven, and God remembered her misdeeds.
6. Give
you back to her as indeed she gave back, and double you her double-deeds; mix
her a double draught in the cup she mixed.
7. How
she glorified herself and luxuriated, so give her a like measure of torment and
sorrow. Because in her heart she says,
‘A queen I sit, I am no widow, and sorrow by no means do I see’.
8. Therefore
in one day will her plagues come, death and sorrow and famine, and she will be
consumed with fire; because mighty is the Lord God judging her”.
9. And
the kings of the earth, who practised fornication and
luxuriated with her, will weep and wail over her, when they see the smoke of
her burning,
10.
standing
afar because of the fear of her torment, saying, “Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon the mighty city,
in one hour your judgement came.”
11.
And the merchants of the earth weep
and sorrow over her, because no one buys their cargo any more,
12.
cargo of gold, silver, jewels and
pearls, fine linen, purple, silk and scarlet, all kinds of scented wood, all
ivory vessels, all vessels of valuable wood, bronze, iron and marble,
13.
cinnamon,
spice, incenses, wine, oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and
carriages, and bodies and souls of men.
14.
Your fruit of the lust of the soul
went away from you, and all the sumptuous and bright things perished from you,
and nobody shall ever find them again!
15.
The merchants of these wares, who
got rich through her, will stand afar because of the fear of the torment of her
weeping and sorrowing, saying,
16.
“Woe, woe, the great city, which was
clothed with fine linen and purple and scarlet, and gilded with gold and
precious stone and pearl!
17.
In one hour such great wealth has
been laid waste!” And every steersmen
and person sailing on the sea, and sailor, and all who work the sea, stood far
off,
18.
and
cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, “Who was like the great
city?”
19.
And they threw dust onto their
heads, and cried out weeping and sorrowing, saying, “Woe, woe, the great city,
whose worth made rich all those who had ships on the sea, for in one hour she
was made desolate!
20.
Be glad over her, heaven and the
saints, apostles and prophets, because God judged her by your judgement”.
21.
Then a mighty angel-messenger took
up a stone like a great millstone, and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus
Babylon the great city will be thrown, with a rush, and shall be found no
longer.
22.
And the sound of harpists and
musicians and flutists and trumpeters will never be heard in you again, and any
craftsman of any craft shall not be found in you any more;
and the sound of a factory shall not be heard in you any
more;
23.
And the light of a lamp shall shine
in you no longer, and the voice of bridegroom and of bride shall be heard in
you no more; for your merchants were the great ones of the earth, because your
sorcery deceived all the nations,

and
in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all those slain on
the earth”.
REVELATION CHAPTER
NINETEEN
1. After
these things I heard what seemed to be a great voice of a great crowd in
heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! The
salvation and the glory and the power of our God!
2. For
true and righteous are his judgements; because he
judged the great harlot who defiled the earth with her fornication, and he
avenged the blood of his slaves by her hand”.
3. Secondly
they cried, “Hallelujah! The smoke of
her goes up unto the ages of the ages”.
4. The
twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell and worshipped God
sitting on the throne, saying, “Amen.
Hallelujah!”
5. And
a voice came out from the throne, saying, “Praise you our God, all his slaves,
you who fear him, the small and the great”.
6. Then
I heard what seemed to be the sound of a great crowd, like the sound of many
waters, and like the sound of loud thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigned.
7. Let
us rejoice and exult, and give the glory to him, for the marriage of the lamb
has come, and his bride prepared herself,
8. and she was granted
to be clothed in bright clean fine linen – for the fine linen
is the righteous deeds of the saints”.
9. And
he tells me, “Write you: Blessed are the ones who have been called to the
marriage supper of the lamb”. And he
says to me, “These are true words of God”.
10.
Then I fell down at his feet to
worship him, but he said to me, “You, do not do
that! I am a fellow slave with you and
your brothers with the witness of Jesus; worship God”. For the witness of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy.
11.
Then I saw heaven opened, and
behold, a white horse! The one sitting
on it is called faithful and true, and in righteousness he judges and makes
war.
12.
His eyes are like flames of fire,
and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name inscribed which nobody
knows but him.
13.
He is clothed in a robe dipped in
blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God.
14.
The armies in heaven followed him on
white horses, dressed in white fine linen.
15.
From his mouth proceeds a sharp
sword, with which to smite the nations, and he will shepherd them with an iron
staff; he treads the winepress of the wine of the anger, of the wrath of God
the Almighty.
16.
He has on his robe and on his thigh
a name inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
17.
I saw one angel-messenger standing
in the sun, and he cried out in a great voice, saying to all the birds flying
in mid-heaven, “Come you, assemble you for the great supper of God,
18.
to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh
of chiliarchs[generals], the flesh of strong men, the
flesh of horses and those sitting on them, the flesh of all men, both free and
slave, both small and great”.
19.
And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth
and their armies assembled to make war with the one sitting on the horse and
with his army.
20.
And the beast was seized, and with it
the false prophet [pseudo-prophet] which had performed the signs before it,
deceiving those who had received the mark of the beast and worshipped its
image; these two were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with sulphur.
21.
And the rest were slain by the sword
of the one sitting on the horse, the sword that proceeds from his mouth, and
all the birds were gorged with their flesh.
NOTES ON REVELATION CHAPTER NINETEEN
Verses 17-21 depict an
Angel summoning all the birds of the air, which might seem fanciful until one
considers the recent and massively growing scientific evidence from fossils in China
– that birds suddenly appeared out of the preceding
dinosaur species that lorded it over the earth for so many million years. Furthermore they did so in just a few
generations or possibly just one generation, completely defying the ‘laws of
evolution’ of Charles Darwin. Birds were
created – by God – from dinosaurs, complete with the sudden ability to fly. Birds are highly intelligent, their beautiful
song is known to be very structured language, yet often dismissed. Can they indeed understand – even speak –
human languages? That is the only way
that one can take the last part of this chapter literally – and seriously – for
it might not just be parrots and Mynah birds alone that can talk!
As soon as one
realizes and accepts that Chapter 11 of The Book of Revelation is a totally
accurate prediction, 1911 years earlier in AD 90 of the events of ‘9/11’ in AD
2001, then it is obvious that the End of Semiconductor and the End of Money as
predicted in later chapters as above, could happen any time now – especially during this Second Great
Depression! The Old Testament has a
parallel to this Great End of the Computer-Money Complex – in the story of the Tower of Babel,
a Tower in Babylon
intended to reach Heaven itself! God
ended this monstrous project by ‘dividing the tongues of the workforce’ so they
could not understand each other. The
above chapters of Revelation reveal a different end of the ‘Computer-Money
Complex’ – seemingly the microscopic components of computers are to be ‘turned
to blood’ by Angels!
Again, in the New
Testament, Jesus described a man who “heard and took in Jesus’ words, and built
his house on rock. When the winds and
rain battered that house, it remained intact.”
However for another man who failed to listen, and built his house on
sand, the slightest storm destroyed it – everything he had. It seems to me that the ‘computer-money
complex’ is all built literally of sand, for the very silicon that computers
are made of – is the same chemical element that is the basis of sand itself!
29.
Any counter
arguments to the abolition of money are few and weak!
· I have presented a
whole range of very strong arguments in this Manifesto that we actually all act
to Abolish All Money.
These arguments cover every aspect of world society in the post ‘9/11’
21st Century World that we currently inhabit, and how these would
change for ever for the good once we Abolish All
Money.
· Only those rich
people who actually enjoy and luxuriate in their advantages over the poor,
while doing nothing about that Great Divide, surely, can raise any serious
objections to what I am proposing here.
· In every aspect of
life that I have described, there are no disadvantages, only vast advantages,
to humanity acting as a whole to Abolish All Money!
30.
Overall - a very
simple and high Quality of Life for all!
The End of Money, then, would bring about a
New World, a Utopia, where everybody was respected for being the individual they
are, there would be no rich and poor apart from people being as comfortably off
as they needed and wanted to be.
At the same time computers and
computer-inspired activities would be subject to a CCCCCC Census – and life
without this other half of the current ‘computer-money complex’ being dominant
any more, would get a lot simpler – and Higher Quality.
Is it possible, then, that a World without
Money would be for all – the Paradise on Earth
envisaged if not promised by many religions?
The key to that great claim is simple really – Abolish All Money!
Manifesto: Abolish All Money!
maam.org.uk
Census all computer based equipment!
License all computers!
Can you seriously imagine a
world where all money is abolished? This author can, and presents his
findings here – of a world where computers,
currently totally out of control in his view, will be 'tamed' and
the 'genie of computers put back in the bottle' – along with all money!
