It is the height of the Second
Great Depression ('credit crunch'
in silly common parlance! It is much
more serious than that trashy phrase!)
Money has been literally 'the root of all evil' in the
whole world for eighteen months since the credit crunch started; and this
situation may persist for some years despite all the joint efforts of world
leaders and governments.
This Manifesto argues a solid case that we could all

1. 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
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 The Holy) Spirit 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
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
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.
2. 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
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
The Holy) Spirit 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
“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
3. 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
·
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 Microsoft coerced by dropping all their
support of XP once
·
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 The Holy) Spirit 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 The Holy)
Spirit 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
·
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 like be 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!'?
4. 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
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?
5. 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…
6. 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 The Holy) Spirit Exists' as at www.silee.me.uk
7. 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!
8. 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
“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
·
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 The
Holy) Spirit 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 The Holy) Spirit 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 The Holy) Spirit 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
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
(1) Gregor Mendel of the late 1800's,
the monk often called the 'Father of Genetics'
(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 magnetism
(5) The 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
(6) 9:13-19 to me accurately predicts
likewise, Computer 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
Chapter 11.
A symbolic but complete and precisely accurate prediction of the events
of '9/11' – 11th September
2001 in the
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 The Holy) Spirit 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
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
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.
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,
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 '
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
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”. [
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
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,
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,
24.
and in her was found the blood of prophets and of
saints, and of all those slain on the earth”.
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
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
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!

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
The key to that great
claim is simple really – Abolish All Money!

Abolish All Money!

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!
