Notes From The Underground: Freedom Begins With Breaking The Mental Chains!

Notes from the UNDERGROUND: FREEDOM begins with BREAKING the MENTAL CHAINS!
http://daviddegraw.org/notes-from-the-underground/

At this point, if you spend much time researching power politics or the distribution of wealth, resources and basic necessities, it seems evident and undeniable, dare I say, “common sense,” that we, in fact, live in a neo-feudal society built on debt and mental slavery.

That may sound like over-the-top rhetoric, and it obviously sounds extreme to propagandized and conditioned minds, and yes, it is extreme. However, it is the unfortunate reality of the present situation. The facts are there for the rational and unbiased mind to absorb and comprehend.

If you take a few minutes of your time and read this through, it will easily be proven. We will look at how the system works, and then, hopefully, we will begin the process of evolving society together, as grandiose as that may sound.

Let’s start by giving some context and perspective on present circumstances by breaking down some economic data. As Thomas Jefferson once said, “Enlighten the people generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like evil spirits at the dawn of day.”

Hi Jeff.

 

I like your post, and felt exactly like you do. But in my opinion the author's point is not that of wealth redistribution for the sake of just being equitable. He is talking about the the way the monetary system is manipulated for the benefit of the very few that know how USURY works.

 

His main insight in my opinion is how the media is the main tool that keeps people within their mental prisons, I really like his article because it resonates with much of what I have found out for myself.

 

I know there will always be poor people, but by my own experience in business, the usurers always seemed to me to have a much bigger piece of my efforts than I did for me. His article has answered many question that I suspected were true from my perspective.

Jeff,

 

That's exactly it, the topic of what is money. You tell me that it takes money to make money, but I bet you if you really think about it, you will have a hell of a hard time describing what is money. Which by the way, in our present system, money is an agreement.

 

You talk about the markets and the banking system, but you are describing the system from an inside perspective, that is to say from a player and not a game maker perspective.

 

I tell you, it is truly terrifying once you begin to grasp what the USURERS have done to humanity. I don't fault you if you do not want to look deep into the system. I only did it out of desperation for the welfare of my children and future grandchildren.

Jeff, we are on the same page. Except that I do have my qualms with those that built the ladder.

 

I agree with you as to how you define money, but if you analyse it further, you will see that the promissory note is nothing more than the representation of the agreement.

 

Now, I ask you, what right have those that built the ladder to enjoy the interest from the "issuance of money"?

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.
