POWER AND MONEY

Hillary Clinton said in a speech Friday that in today’s world, economic power matters more than military might; consider this: the United States is the sole global military power, and yet our influence is waning.

Ancient Rome was known for their sword (the blessing to Esua, twin brother of Yaakov progenitor of the 12 Jewish Tribes, was to live by the sword) and their coin, the coin of Rome. All roads lead to Rome because that is where the money is – the basis of money.

Money used to be backed up by gold, a raw precious metal that could be implemented, but our money is only based on promises from a government trillion of dollars in debt. What makes these governments so sure of themselves is the Roman religion – Christianity.

Religion, also makes promises they can not keep. After the Tech Bubble and after the Real-estate Bubble is the Reality Bubble; the previous reality woven by religion and substantiated by power-economics is soon going to burst, to be replaced by a bright future.

As the Sword of Rome, dulled by too much use, retires and the coin of Rome, with tarnished reputation, shrivels in worth and the assurance of religion lands on the deaf ears of the illiterate, something beautiful is being born before our eyes, as witness to the future.
