You then control their food, water, energy, housing, transportation, access and egress points, etc.
Once you have entire control of that, in a captive population, you own them body and soul.
Yes, it's like an interesting comment said today by a BBC News presenter -whilst discussing the new £20 polymer
note being introduced into the system. The lady said that she rarely used paper currency these days and that she
hadn't seen a twenty-pound note in a long time.
And there's the rub. We sell our labour for promissory notes that took over from the bartering system.
One particular note equals a chicken of pig to eat, another note promises two chickens, etc.
The TV presenter lives in an environment where a single piece of plastic is her money and what was once a workable
reality, is now -in her particular case, an assumed perception that she still has control over her finances.
If you're handed a chicken or a token for that bird derived from an agreed set of hours of labour, then you've physically
obtained your goal.
If you enjoy the freedom of a credit-card or bank-card, you have no chicken if the holder of your finances decides to
revoke your access to your money. It may seem wrong and against agreed rules, but it's the Governments and Banks
who make those rules, you only agree to them.
Ah yes -you may say, certain finance establishments invest your money and can give you a return, but it isn't done
solely for your benefit, they reap the rewards too... by using your promissory notes!
I'm not saying the global agreement of using currency is wrong, it's just not the original reason it was devised for.
You can't eat money... especially the new polymer ones!
