"There is thy gold, worse poison to men's souls, Doing more murder in this loathsome world, Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell".“Romeo & Juliet”,
What beast couldst thou be, that were not subject to a beast? and what a beast art thou already, that seest not thy loss in transformation!” ― William Shakespeare, Timon of Athens

Jesus and Economic Life
The coming of the Roman Empire destroyed the community-based economy that God had provided for the children of Israel.
The Sadducees and the priestly families that collaborated with the Romans were rewarded with large land holdings. Many accumulated large blocks of land. The people who had previously owned them were turned into tenant farmers, who had to hand over at least half of their crops to their landlords.
The empire imposed exorbitant taxes on the ordinary people. This pushed most families into poverty. If taxes could not be paid, their property would be confiscated. The tax collectors got rich and the rest became tenant farmers or day labourers. Jesus saw the tax collectors as "sick" (Luke 5:31).
For ordinary people, storing up wealth was impossible. If the Roman soldiers found coins or grain hidden in a house, they would smash the house.
Debt was used to impoverish people and to steal their land. A person who was poor would be lent money at very high interest rates (50 percent) using their land as security. When they were unable to pay the interest or repay the loan, the interest would be added to the loan. In a few years, a small loan could grow to be worth more than the land given as security. The lender would demand the land to settle the debt.
Herod built a Greek-styled temple in Jerusalem. His son Antipas built the new Roman cities at Deopolis and Tiberius. The governor of Judea built a new city of Caesar Philip in honour of Caesar. To pay for these building projects, the people had to pay tribute.
People were hungry all the time.
During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way (Mark 8:1-3).
The state of people's health was so bad that going without food was debilitating.
By Jesus time, most families in Israel had no land. Most of the land was controlled by a few powerful families and moneylenders. Tax collectors and soldiers would grab most of the crops that were grown and most money that was earned. The people were left with very little to live on. Most people were hungry most of the time. Many would have to find some work each day as a day labourer to buy their food for the day. That is why Jesus knew the people had followed him around the lake to listen to his teaching all day would be hungry. If they had not worked, they would have no food, and not be able to buy any.
For the people of Israel, the Roman Empire was a terrible place to live. Land was concentrated in the hands of a few. Capital was no longer distributed evenly. The people did not have money to lend to others, because all surpluses were taken by the Romans and the temple system. Life was brutal and extreme poverty was normal. No wonder people were looking for a Messiah who would break the shackles of Rome and free them from the burden of debt, tax and tribute.

What are those golden builders doing?
where was the burying-place Of soft Ethinthus?
near Tyburns fatal Tree?
is that Mild Zions hills most ancient promontory;
near mournful Ever weeping Paddington?
is that Calvary and Golgotha? Becoming a building of pity and compassion?
30
Lo! The stones are pity, and the bricks, well wrought affections:
Enameld with love & kindness, & the tiles engraven gold
Labour of merciful hands: the beams & rafters are forgiveness:
The mortar & cement of the work, tears of honesty:
the nails,And the screws & iron braces, are well wrought blandishments,
35
And well contrived words, firm fixing, never forgotten,
Always comforting the remembrance: the floors, humility,
The cielings, devotion: the hearths, thanksgiving:
Prepare the furniture O Lambeth in thy pitying looms!
The curtains, woven tears & sighs, wrought into lovely forms
40
For comfort. there the secret furniture of Jerusalems chamberIs wrought: Lambeth! the Bride the Lambs Wife loveth thee:
Thou art one with her & knowest not of self in thy supreme joy.
Go on, builders in hope: tho Jerusalem wanders far away,
Without the gate of Los: among the dark Satanic wheels.

ITS THE MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY STUPID. FARAGE , BOJO, TRUMP, ALEX JONES AND RON PAUL WALK INTO A BAR?
PNAC, ALEX JONES, AND RON PAUL PARTNER FOR A NEW PEARL HARBOR
February 28, 2012 by Keith Gardner
Alex Jones and Ron Paul know a lot about the New World Order and are right about a lot of things. However, they are also working on the New World Order’s biggest endgame, a new economic order, a new economic Pearl Harbor, which will enslave the productive serfs to the idle aristocrats and international bankers. They want total economic enslavement through monetary usury. They want the serfs to love their enslavement and call it freedom. They want the serfs to make tribute payments to the non-productive aristocrats on increasing national debt in the increasing value of gold made legal tender by the New World Order. Alex Jones and Ron Paul promote the communism for the rich known as feudalism.
Alex Jones revealed “The New Pearl Harbor” document from the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) called “Rebuilding America’s Defenses” as part of the New World Order’s agenda. Alex Jones fails to mention another document, written by PNAC board member Lewis Lehrman, called “Money and the Coming World Order: The Creation of International Monetary Order“. The document is hosted on web site called, “Gold Standard Now,” which is a project for the Lehrman Institute. The title is quite revealing that PNAC’s Lewis Lehrman wants a New World Order based on the gold standard. According to Lewis Lehrman, we’ll be on the New World Order’s gold standard in five years.
Lewis Lehrman also partnered with Ron Paul to write The Case for Gold. Alex Jones is a dedicated promoter of Ron Paul and a return to the gold standard. Alex Jones and Ron Paul also both have significant investments in gold, with the producer of the Alex Jones show being a gold trader. It seems that Alex Jones knows a lot about the endgame of the New World Order and the blueprint for global enslavement. What Alex Jones does not tell you is that the gold standard is part of the endgame and blueprint for global enslavement, and that Ron Paul and Alex Jones are heavily invested into it. Since they actively promote a gold standard, they are not merely invested in gold just because they fear a new world gold standard. They are complicit in that agenda.
Ron Paul also gave public support for globalization and a one world currency, gold, in the public record.
“There’s nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency…. The effort in recent decades to unify government surveillance over all world trade and international financial transactions through the UN, IMF, World Bank, WTO, ICC, the OECD, and the Bank of International Settlements can never substitute for a peaceful world based on true free trade, freedom of movement, a single but sound market currency, and voluntary contracts with private property rights…. The ultimate solution will only come with the rejection of fiat money worldwide, and a restoration of commodity money. Commodity money if voluntarily and universally accepted could give us a single world currency requiring no money managers, no manipulators orchestrating a man-made business cycle with rampant price inflation.” — Ron Paul, Congressional Record, March 13, 2001
Ludwig von Mises and the Austrian School of Economics was also funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the same people who created the United Nations, World Bank, and IMF, and the same people behind Standard Oil, Exxon-Mobile, the Federal Reserve, and Chase Bank, and the same people behind the eugenics program in America.
“Many readers may be surprised to learn the extent to which the Graduate Institute and then Mises himself in the years immediately after he came to United States were kept afloat financially through generous grants from the Rockefeller Foundation. In fact, for the first years of Mises’s life in the United States, before his appointment as a visiting professor in the Graduate School of Business Administration at New York University (NYU) in 1945, he was almost totally dependent on annual research grants from the Rockefeller Foundation.” – Richard M. Ebeling, The Life and Works of Ludwig von Mises
It is also known that Peter Thiel is a Bilderberger and Ron Paul’s biggest contributor. Real Libertarians are starting to ask, “Who is Peter Thiel?”

GE2019 THE APOTHEOSIS OF OLIGARCHICAL NWO COLLECTIVISM. “PRIVATE CAPITAL (USURIOUS, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL). THESE FUNCTIONS OF MONEY, HOWEVER, BOUND UP AS THEY ARE WITH EXPLOITATION, ARE NOT LIQUIDATED AT THE BEGINNING OF A PROLETARIAN REVOLUTION, BUT IN A MODIFIED FORM ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE STATE, THE UNIVERSAL MERCHANT, CREDITOR AND INDUSTRIALIST”. TROTSKY #TWOFINGERS2BRINO @WIKI_BALLOT #4PAMPHLETEERS @GRUBSTREETJORNO @SURVATION @WIKI_BALLOT @FINANCIALEYES #WIKIBALLOTPICK #IABATO #SAM #GE2019 ROGER LEWIS ( PORTHOS) @JOEBLOB20
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Theory_and_Practice_of_Oligarchical_Collectivism
“A heavy black volume, amateurishly bound, with no name or title on the cover. The print also looked slightly irregular. The pages were worn at the edges, and fell apart easily, as though the book had passed through many hands. The inscription on the title-page ran:[1]THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF
OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM
by
Emmanuel Goldstein”
The term “oligarchical collectivism” refers not only to the ideology of the Party Ingsoc (English Socialism) but also to the ideologies of the other two states (Neo-Bolshevism in Eurasia; in Eastasia, “Death Worship” or “Obliteration of the Self”). Winston reads two long excerpts establishing[2] how the three totalitarian super-states – Oceania, Eastasia, and Eurasia – emerged from a global war, thus connecting the past and the present, and explains the basic political philosophy of the totalitarianism that derived from the authoritarian political tendencies manifested in the twentieth century. That the three “opposing” ideologies are functionally identical is central to the revelations of The Book.
IT’S THE MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY STUPID.
Where did they come from?
God gave His people the Ten Commandments in a section of the Bible called the Old Testament. At that time, a group of people led by the prophet Moses had just escaped slavery. When Moses prayed to God for help, God gave him the Ten Commandments, which we can still follow today.
1
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.”
Exodus 20:3
God wants what is best for you. If you put something else before Him in your life, it’s harder for him to bless you.
2
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.”
Exodus 20:4
Anything you worship more than God is a “graven image.” Cars, clothes, sports, even our jobs are dangerous things to worship because they can go away. But God will never go away, and that’s why it’s best for us to only worship Him.
3
“Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.”
Exodus 20:7
This can mean using God’s name like a swear word, or it can mean saying you are a Christian but not living or acting like Jesus would want you to act.
4
“Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.”
Exodus 20:8–10
Sunday, or the Sabbath day, is a day we can all go to church, worship God, and learn how to be better people and Christians. Keeping it holy means doing our best to remember Him throughout the day.
5
“Honour thy father and thy mother.”
Exodus 20:12
It’s important to show our parents respect. This might look different for everyone, but we should always try to love and care for those who cared for us first.
6
“Thou shalt not kill.”
Exodus 20:13
A simple but important rule for anyone.
7
“Thou shalt not commit adultery.”
Exodus 20:14
Men and women make promises to each other when they are married. These promises are important, and breaking them causes deep sadness. Keeping those promises help men and women have happy marriages and happy lives.
8
“Thou shalt not steal.”
Exodus 20:15
It is important to God that His children are honest with each other. Taking anything that doesn’t belong to you is stealing, and is against His commandment.
9
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.”
Exodus 20:16
This one is about honesty. If you lie to someone, you are “bearing false witness,” and may cause harm to yourself and to others.
10
“Thou shalt not covet.”
Exodus 20:17
To covet means to be so jealous of something someone else has that you want it desperately. Coveting makes a person miserable and keeps them from putting God first. This commandment helps keep you from falling into this bad habit.
Life Together
The Torah provided a way for a community of people together in peace. It included:
A system of law dealing with crime and punishment
A system of justice and judges
A system of defence
An economic system
It did not need a king or political power, which meant:
No taxation
No tribute.
Jesus came to bring about the restoration of Israel. The renewal of Israel would be achieved through the renewal of life in villages and communities.
Unrighteous Wealth
Jesus introduced the concept of "unrighteous wealth.
So if you have not been trustworthy in handling unrighteous wealth, who will trust you with true riches (Luke 16:11)?
People hanging onto unrighteous wealth will not be trusted with spiritual blessing. This is a blunt message. A key part of Jesus jubilee message was that unrighteous wealth should be given away.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys (Luke 12:33).
Jesus did not define unrighteous wealth, because this had already been done in the Law and the Prophets. When his listeners heard the expression, they knew what he meant. He was referring to wealth held contrary to the instructions for economic life. The following are the main categories of unrighteous wealth.
Wealth that has been obtained by practices that were forbidden in the Torah is unrighteous wealth.
Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means Son of Encouragement), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet (Acts 4:36-37).
Barnabas was a Levite and Levites were not entitled to own land in Israel (Num 26:62). When he came to faith in Jesus, the illegal ownership of land would have weighed on his conscious. He probably could not return the land to its rightful owner (Lev 25:13), so he sold the land and gave the money to the apostles for distribution to those in need.
Land and other possessions that have been stolen are unrighteous wealth. The word used for possessions in Acts 2:45, 4:34 and Acts 5:1 is "ktema" or "ktetor" This is not the word generally used for possessions in the New Testament (uparxis). These nouns are derived from the verb "ktaomai". It means "acquire" or "gain control over". It refers to property that has been acquired, not bought. "Ktema" refers to unrighteous wealth that has been acquired by wickedness. Some of the property sold by Christians like Barnabas and Ananias may have been acquired as a reward for wickedness.
The accumulation of houses is unrighteous wealth. The prophets spoke against those who accumulated land and houses.
Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field till no space is left and you live alone in the land (Is 5:8).
In the modern world, residential housing is a popular investment. This demand pushes up the price of dwellings, which makes it difficult for young people to buy a house. Investment in housing is unproductive. It does not increase the productivity of the economy. People who are saving for their retirement should invest in productive activities, not residential dwellings.
Land and property received through collusion with political powers is unrighteous wealth. People with political power often protect their positions by providing land and property to their supporters. The people who had become rich in Jesus times gained their wealth through their place in the Roman political system. It was unrighteous wealth. Once these people had chosen Jesus as their King, they could not retain land and property that represented loyalty to King Herod or Caesar, so they sold it. They would probably have lost their property anyway, once their new loyalty became clear.
In the modern world, governments often give a group of people monopoly power over an aspect of the economy. Then enables them to become very wealthy, but this is unrighteous wealth.
Limited liability laws allow business to take excessive risks and then leave their creditors (often small contractors) carrying the burden when they default. Wealth gained through limited liability is unrighteous wealth.
Wealth obtained through debasing the currency is unrighteous wealth, whether it is done by a counterfeiter or a government.
See how the faithful city
has become a prostitute!
She once was full of justice;
righteousness used to dwell in her-
but now... your silver has become dross (Is 1:21-22).
Those who become wealthy through debasing or inflating the currency are creating unrighteous wealth for themselves.
In the modern world, people have found less direct ways to take advantage of the debasement of the currency. Many people have become wealthy through investing in real estate to benefit from the capital gains that come through inflation of property prices. These gains are often amplified by using borrowed money to pay for the properties. Large returns are earned through an activity that produces very little for the economy. The high returns are dependent on continued price inflation that is caused by the government manipulating the currency. Collecting capital gains caused by inflation is sharing in the deceitful activities of currency manipulators. Wealth obtained from capital gains obtained by highly leveraged investments in real estate is unrighteous wealth.
If the Holy Spirit is prompting someone to assist a neighbour in financial difficulty by giving them an interest-free loan and they refuse, the money that should have been lent probably becomes unrighteous wealth.
If the Holy Spirit is prompting someone to assist a neighbour in financial difficulty by redeeming their property and they refuse to assist, the wealth that they cling to probably becomes unrighteous wealth.
Wealth that has been obtained by taking property pledged by as security by people who are defaulting on interest-bearing loans is unrighteous wealth. This has been an easy way to gain wealth in every age.
