Purpose:  WHAT IF MONEY WAS THE CAUSE OF ALL OUR ILLS?

Hello everyone, this is an SOS.

A.     Let's get this straight from the start: the situation is very serious.

The economy has already turned into "great crisis" mode by taking on a cycle of twenty-five to thirty years of misery without evacuating the risk of a small war fomented by ferocious dictatorships (China, Russia, India, Turkey and others).

In Europe, we are witnessing the return of a triumphant Germany, still adept at the practices of slavery (one-euro hourly wage, massive legal and illegal immigrant labor, servile subcontracting), imposing “secret defense” alliances - without faith and law - on its European partners such as recently the new investment treaty with China, hastily signed by the German - turning - Presidency of the European Council.  

Democracy has been part of our old dreams since 1965-1968.

Sociology and history have served no purpose, nor have social struggles.

The plutocracy (Aristophanes) is in place and it intends to remain there, despite all the crises past and to come:  the new freedoms (neo-liberalism) have allowed them to "secure" social, tax and even judicial havens but also to "scramble the tracks" as to the origins of their wild imports and the use of "our money".

For the peoples, survival is essential with bread and games (Rome), forced exile (ostracism) and massive migration (Ancient Greece) or foreign invasion (Ptolemaic Egypt, Ancient Greece became Roman Province, ...).

For our European civilization, this is already the beginning of a sad end:  unemployment, precariousness, squalor wages, public services at half-mast, tangled administrations to oppress and repress populations, exponential economic and financial concentration, insolent media domination, high corruption, …

Yes, the time is serious but we can overthrow the table without violence and in all legality.

B.     A special career and social path

Economist and financier, I worked as a forex trader, arbitrageur-treasurer (American investment bank), then head of treasury and finance, controller of management division and former senior executive in charge of economic planning (multinational chemical company).

In other words, I wanted at all costs to understand the workings of the Economy and Finance by abandoning the books of political economy (macro-economy); so, I have been riding hard (but with passion) to become a privileged observer of monetary, micro and macro-financial issues.

To be honest with you, I have especially discovered the weight of High Finance and ancient ENA’s ([1]) students in France, anxious to generate easy capital gains within captive companies, but I found no reason to reread the great authors in "economic sciences" or to validate neither of their doctrines (these are not theories).

In short, the academic world lives in Plato's Cave, and I preferred to take sunburn.

So, I plunged back into my old loves, Greco-Latin culture and its eternal philosophy, before writing two books with premonitory titles. The first book in December 2007:

"Neoliberalism, a very old system... Why (should we) fight it? »

First book in December 2007

At the same time, I had begun to look at the ECB's and EU’s accounts (a Benedictine's work) before writing this one on:

"The (disastrous) management of the euro"?

Second book in January 2008 (written before the “subprime” crisis)

I do not deny this second book, more complex work, even if I would not write it in the same way today, because I have been able to embark on further in-depth research on the foundations of economic, monetary and financial thought using the mechanisms of causal thought developed by Socrates, Plato and especially Aristotle.

Rather than invade you with words during this first contact, I will reveal to you the most extreme synthesis of my research and my discoveries:

OUR MONEY IS OUR MISFORTUNE.

The currency is the cause of all our ills, in reference to PLATO desperate not to be able to participate in the moral and political recovery of Greece - Letter V and Letter VII.

C.     How could we work together?

From the outset, I am all the closer to the concerns and constraints of "free" actors as I had to improvise myself "publisher" and "site creator" to "sell" my ideas and discoveries, for free ([2]).

In addition, I am by nature a "researcher," and it takes me a lot of time.

To help you understand my work, I'll give you a few examples of my research - discoveries:  

-    Even before the introduction of the euro, since the European Monetary Institute (1994), European High Finance has found the herb much fatter in the United States: their colossal losses in the dot.com had to be filled.  Welcome to the euro (which saved High Finance for the first time)!  

-    The introduction of the euro (1999 -2002) allowed High Finance to steal about 2,600,000,000,000 euros (2.6 trillion - US version) without anyone noticing and, of course, without anyone ever condemning it. At the time, the GDP of the eleven participating countries (Greece came at the last moment) was 6,000,000,000,000 euros (6.0 trillion). Nice move: the heist represented more than 40% of everything we all produced together each year in those years.

Of course, the rest of the euro was all plotted: concentration of money, economic deflation ([3]), competition of workers, wild relocations, loss of jobs and income, massive low-priced taxes, poor quality of products, environmental destruction (agricultural productivity), ...

However, the first question was:  should this option of the "single currency" be chosen?

And, secondly, could this "single currency" lead to the convergence of our economies (which had been "sold to us")?

Well, no one has really thought about it, neither Left nor Right political parties, neither before nor after.

The way was therefore open and "reserved": all the Financial Sector took advantage of this.

Germany, too, has benefited, with the recipes inherited from the REICH III (already mentioned); on the other hand, it is still necessary to feed this practically free workforce. Nothing is a coincidence: the "hard discounters" are almost all German and, for example, the German pork we buy comes from Denmark, Poland and other Eastern countries before being "killed" and debited in Germany by immigrant workers, illegal or not.

For other economic sectors, the appliance and the automotive industry for example, Turkey is an excellent partner for offshoring (MERCEDES busses, commercial vehicles, “white goods” industry, ...).

Dictatorships are valuable for this kind of partnership: R.T. ERDOYAN, Viktor ORBAN, the Polish PiS Political Party and all the enemies of freedom have a great future to play despite their nationalist and even separatist tropism.  

Nothing but bargains for the beautiful German industry, so efficient, so powerful, so sure of itself ([4])!  

A clear future for far-right parties: Northern Europe is already under high pressure!

-    The (U.S.) subprime crisis (2007-2018 for available statistics).

Nice move, again, for the High Finance of the European Union: 5,000,000,000,000 euros (5 trillion).

For France? 1,000,000,000.000 euros (detectable but much more, in fact).

For UK? 862,000,000,000 euros (detectable but much more, in fact).

Belgium: 397 B€. Ireland: 578 B€. Spain: 425 B€. Italy: 486 B€. Germany: 663 B€, …

Who denounced it? Who condemned it? Who wants to do what?

Follow my gaze: no one.

-    What about the "corona-crisis"?

What are the opinions within the Press and the Free Edition?

And, well, I'll tell you straight: High Finance is "taking the chestnuts out of the fire".

And none of you have any idea.

And what do you think, dear friends of Democracy and Freedom?  

Are my denunciations "exaggerated"?

Is the situation "desperate"?

Have our "distinguished economists” have planned it all? Or just have they seen it all?

That the "debt" debates are justified?

That there should be demonstrations of "Yellow Jackets" or "Black Jackets"?

That you need fake coffins or real coffins?

Well, I'm asking you the question: what can you do on your side? 

Nothing... without this kind of analyses, the result of economic and monetary research since 1967!

Don't count on the Academia’s intellectuals: they don't come out of their doctrinaire books. Better yet, they indulge in them because their "knowledge" is a form of Power, especially in higher education. It is necessary to reread the "myth" or "allegory" of the Cave to understand it.

And what can I do without you?

Nothing but interruptions of my research to just convince some "fools" to read my analyses.

Nothing without your many talents that I don’t have:  writing, publishing, printing, radio, documentaries, relational, conference organization, press contacts and others.

Here are some links that might interest you (in English because I chose the European Union and the Eurozone as the ground for my research and demonstrations):

Next video: THE THIRD BREAK OF THE CENTURY, THE CORONA-CRISE.

(I've just got the latest statistics - end of 2020 - so I'm going to finish it)

There will be ten videos in total (all well advanced)

Video 00: The choice of my alias (JUNON MONETA) for MONNAIE and WARNING

Brief review of Rome’s monetary history

Video 01: The first "break of the century" with the introduction of the euro 1999 - 2002.

Since the final launch in 2002, real growth is zero in the Eurozone: this explains this.

Video 02: The second "break of the century" with the (American) subprime crisis (statistics 2007 - 2018).

A systemic crisis linked to the disastrous management of the euro.

Video 03: The (Chinese) corona-crisis is triggering a GREAT DEPRESSION of the type 1929 - 1955.

            It is currently the "third heist of the century."

I will update this video later - without deleting the previous ones - to show that my forecasts (pessimistic) are based on serious work.

              Practically over.

5th Video 04: Europe in solidarity... more debts and sacrifices (for the peoples).

Practically over.

Video 05: Currency, bridge to the donkeys of distinguished economists and teachers.

The evidence in numbers (1999-2019).

Practically over.

7th Video 06: Monetary Financial Institutions (MFI - Banks) and Financial Intermediaries Non-monetary

              (credit companies in the broadest sense).

Practically over.

Video 07: Evolution of Financial and Non-Financial Assets since 2001.

              An explosion without ever a crisis!

Video 08: Encryption and comparison of FINANCIAL and NON-FINANCIAL WEALTH since 2001.

Astounding! 

WHO owns the financial assets? Who runs them? With what kind of Financial Vehicles?

            Where are the assets? Where are the liabilities? In what forms?

What tricks are now being used to dispossess us of our savings and supplementary retirement savings?

Well advanced in the exploitation of statistics 2001 - 2019 but not yet in the form of videos;

Videos 09 and 10 will be both a synthesis of what THE NEOLIBERAL SYSTEM really is but above all a range of measures to take to get out of it.  They will never be broadcast on the site but reserved for people of trust, able to act, in France and Europe.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO HIGH FINANCE SO FAR?

IN SHORT...

With the crisis of the"dot.com" (1995 - 2002), the launch of the euro at a fictitious price - overvalued (1999- 2002), the (so-called American) crisis of "subprime" (2007 - 2018) and, today, the corona-crisis (2020 – 2045?), European High Finance has always been able to rebound and even experience extraordinary development.

She's tripled her strike force in 20 years, and she thinks she's unattainable.

Yes, but how was that possible?

This is obviously the theme of my research... and my discoveries.

·  We just need to know how "disastrous" decisions are made, in which instances and by whom?

·  Especially not with the agreement of the European Parliament, nor with that of the National and Federal Parliaments.

·  And we must understand how the DG-Competition (Commission) "successfully" camouflages these operations?

The "deal" that I want to propose to you is enormous, but without it, we will never be able to get out of this political-financial system (high corruption) which has already caused so much havoc among the populations, and which will increase misery tenfold in structurally weaker regions.

What's next? The European Court of Justice.

We have no choice: "There is no alternative" (or "TINA", Thatcher)

Our "job": to raise the funds and "go there" with the best lawyers.

What kind of procedure?

The construction of the European Union is based on two dogmas: the single market and the single currency.

·         The single market?

"Free and undistorted competition" assumes that state subsidies, granted to all sectors and all enterprises, must be abolished or, at the very least, framed by a system of approval and "reporting" developed by DG-COMPETITION (EU COMMISSION).

This principle has been shattered since the Lisbon Treaty and the application of the General Block Exemption Regulation, or GBER, which allows the Commission to do without more and more prior agreement for a significant number of tenders.

One bargain for plutocracy (Aristophanes)!

But the amounts are still limited (well, ok, all tricks are allowed).

And yet, State Aid to the Financial Sector has been approved for more than 5,000,000,000,000 euros (video 02) while it is an “aid to a private sector”.

·         The single currency?

I go through the details but two principles: "The ECB is independent" (of all political power and of course ordinary citizens) and the euro is (or must become) the only official currency within the European Union.

The ECB does not tolerate any interference, but in the statutes and in the Lisbon Treaty, governments must consult it on all economic and financial matters to the point that successive governors (of the ECB) participate in all decisions of the Eurogroup (nineteen finance ministers).

Insider trading? 

Obvious corruption system?

It is clear that the Financial Sector is a judge and a party on all the subjects that concern it.

And they are enjoying it.

On the role of the Commission: coherence, transparency and independence.

·         Article 9 d: Total independence (except in relation to the European Parliament since the Lisbon Treaty).

How is it that state aid of such importance can be parachuted by the Eurogroup and the European Council? Without any open (and democratic) debate in the European, National and Federal Parliaments?

·         Article 8 (b): Transparency obligation.

How is it possible that DG-COMPETITION publishes false information about State Aid Used by the Financial Sector (video 02)?  

This is the "weak point" of the European Union in which we must sink.

 Big deadlines are fast approaching:

·         In France, the presidential elections in 2022 will still take place with sterile and deceptive debates. 

As everywhere in the Western world, including the United States ([5]), the dominant political parties always dismiss the slingers to retain a consensus candidate capable of confronting their main opponent on topics other than money and finance.

·         Almost ahead of the elections, political decisions concerning "debt" will provide an additional role in our most basic rights (living and living).

In the meantime, the debates on the cancellation of "debt" in Southern Europe offer us a typical spectacle of the cavernous world:  the answers are circular, dogmatic and "reserved" for our "brilliant economists".

At the same time, on this subject of "debt", still does not mean that High Finance dared to "sell" Mario DRAGHI as "the savior of Italy" while he was the gravedigger of our European future; audacity has paid off, M. DRAGHI has won the confidence of all political parties, and the debates on the rejection of the euro or the European Union are over.

And yet, Italy, like France and Spain, is in crisis because of its bankers, its insurers and their many subsidiaries in tax havens that elected and unelected people are trying again to "save" ...

What's next for the euro and for Europe?

To "save the euro", the ECB has no alternative but to create counterfeit money in turn.

For a good cause? To seethe states? By taking on even more debt?   "Yes, but with zero or negative which is ultimately not serious”, official economists and even "aghast economists" ([6]) tell us.

What if the ECB always made the same policy to "save the banks"? In other words, to enrich more and more the players of the great speculation of the entire financial sector (high frequency trading) and tax evasion?

To save the banks "Too big to fail"? Or the ransacking of regional and real deposit and credit banks?  

These people forget that BREXIT did take place "thanks to" the extreme right (racist and xenophobic UKIP).

Do you believe that DRAGHI will save Italy? By demanding that all parties give up leaving the euro?

Do you really think that Spain has managed to gag the Catalan and Basque separatist claims?     

That Portugal and Greece are "saved"?

That France, over-indebted and showing disastrous deficits in all areas, will be able to resume "the necessary reforms": severe cuts in hospitals, education, the present and the future of young people aged 18 to 25 (without any right if not to vote), net salaries (after social charges and housing), pensions and so on? Without creating a boulevard for the far right and for the breakers?

That the Flamingants (extremist Flemish in power) have given up on "blowing up" Belgium? That the political practices of "Belgian compromise" (sorry: compromising) will "save" this country?

That Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Hungary and other countries will muzzle their far-right parties?

In short, are you serene? The European Union is not under threat? Will the dogmas of the single currency and the single market, open to all winds, be called into question? Do you really think that "treaties" can be "renegotiated"?

In reality, the current crisis will deeply "shake" the mandate von der LEYEN and "stiffen" even more the neo-liberal choice of Northern Europe, ever more sectarian ([7]).

An implosion of Europe is now highly likely by 2025.

On the other hand, let us never forget that earthquakes always do great damage and, let us be very clear, the future of our children and grandchildren ([8]) is mortgaged literally ("debt") and figuratively (anarchy - from the Ancient Greek "an-archos" - "deprived of power", deprived of a strong and just Governance) ...

We must move fast, very fast: the economic, financial and political tsunami is coming at high speed.

Be brave!

Democracy is not a gift from the gods but the result of a very strong political and social will.

Let's stand together!

The (real) democracy is necessarily in solidarity, and it allows to build the strongest economies in the long term ([9]) by projecting them on the trajectory of the Great Civilizations.

With my most sincere and cordial greetings,

JUNO MONETA
