Most of them are content, but one says to the others, \u201cI will defy the Master.\u201d While his statement would superficially appear to yearn towards freedom, it does not. It betrays that this slave, just like the others, thinks of the man who beats them as their \u201cMaster\u201d (note the capital M). This slave does not seek freedom, but merely a small gesture of disloyalty. Of course, he will not get his liberty (but maybe a beating).<\/p>\n<p>Today we do not have slavery, but we are shackled nevertheless. Savers are forced to use the government\u2019s debt paper as if it were money. Most are content, but one says \u201cgold will go up.\u201d He does not expect a beating (but maybe a price suppression).<\/p>\n<p>The slave cannot escape from his bondage, until he stops thinking of the brute as \u201cMaster\u201d with a capital M. Freedom does not come from a little show of resentment. So long as malcontent slaves are content to limit themselves to petty disobedience, the Master is content that his rule is absolute. Freedom first takes an act of thinking. One must see the brute for what he is.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s investor cannot escape from the bondage of the Federal Reserve, until he stops thinking of the dollar as \u201cMoney\u201d with a capital M. So long as malcontent investors are content to limit themselves to betting on the dollar-price of gold, the Federal Reserve is content that its rule is absolute. Freedom takes an act of thinking. One must see the dollar for what it is.<\/p>\n<p>The slave must stop using the brute\u2019s whip to tell him what\u2019s good and what\u2019s bad. The investor must stop using the Fed\u2019s credit paper to tell him what\u2019s up and what\u2019s down.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;click on the above link to read the rest of the article&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slaves to Government Debt Paper, Report 25 Mar 2018 Picture, if you will, a group of slaves owned by a cruel man.
