Money Racketeers Delighted That Honest People Try To Tinker With The Institution

Morris: Voice Over of a letter sent to me in a correspondence:
A good speaker?
A lone voice in a deafening cacophony?
Let's try to sketch the conceptual landscape we are trying to deal with.


On one hand we are confronted with an immense tangled web which is the existing institution of money.
On another hand we are confronted with a simple false premise from which the immense tangled web has evolved under the guidance of an unbroken succession of corrupt officials.


On yet another hand we have masses of divided individuals who know [think they know] from their total life experience that money cannot merely store value but IS wealth.
On yet another hand the masses of divided individuals are deep down aware of their abject dependence on money for survival. They are hard-wired to fear change to the existing order. They [all of us] have no hope of understanding the immense complexity of the laws governing finance. Is it any wonder that they [we] embrace bread-and-circuses diversion from their [our] terrified confusion?
Do you think that is a valid sketch, Morris?
It brings to my mind the legend of the Gordian Knot. Nobody could meet the challenge of untying it. Alexander dealt with the problem by cutting it rather than attempt the impossible task of untying it. The immensely tangled web of the institution of money cannot be unraveled by ordinary honest people of good will.
The money racketeers are delighted at the spectre of ordinary honest people of good will wasting their time and effort trying to tinker with the institution of money.
That diabolical institution needs to be destroyed.
Then - and only then - can ordinary honest people of good will have a chance of starting to rebuild a civilization without money with the steadfast intention of living in accord with nature - in accord with reality.
The very thought of that challenge reduces me to tears, Morris.
