Debt Is a Financial Disease

.

Situation:   Lets examine our social structures using a medical metaphor.    Is society ill?   Does it have any diseases?   If so, what are the symptoms?   If it has any diseases, how would you define those illnesses?   What are their causes?   What are their cures?

The Symptoms:   The evidence tells us that society is very ill.   Major financial and environmental problems are two of  the main symptoms.   There are several other significant symptoms, such as crime, war, poverty, political corruption, starvation, et cetera, but for this analogy, we'll focus on money and the environment. 

The Diseases:   What are the diseases?   The evidence tells us that humanity has five major diseases --  that it has five major causes of social sickness,   They are:   Financial mismanagement  (mainly the misuse of debt)       Ignorance,     Denial,        Refusal to change,     and     Being blinded by illusions. ^***¹   Each or these diseases is intertwined with the other four.   

The Causes:   As the world is run today, money is the key to power.   Today that power is used mostly for fear-filled self-interest of a few at the expense of everything and everyone else.   Debt (charging interest for the use of money)  is the primary tool with which those who control the financial world  manipulate, control, and secretly steal everybody else's wealth.  

This diseases of debt has three main sources --  Government debt  --  Unnecessary corporate debt and  ---  The financial wheelers and dealers.   The three sources are intermingled and each plays off the other.   

       The Government:     The financial institutions own the structures that control the government.    The major financially focused  corporations  and the government work together to secretly steal of your wealth.   Their three main tool are  The Federal Reserve --   Fractional- reserve lending  ---   Government deficit financing.²   For example, do you realize that banks and the credit card companies are  lending non-existing money and charge you  interest for its use.²   

       The Corporations:     The second major financial rip off is corporations borrowing money and never paying off their debts.   The super-wealthy have turned the major corporations into cash cows for themselves.   If you handled your personal finances the way the major corporations handle theirs, you'd be considered to be crazy.

       The Financial Wheelers and Dealers:    The super-wealthy are no longer in charge of the money machine that they created.   They have set into motion, forces over which they no longer have control.   Thousands of hot-shot wheelers and dealers have taken the super-wealthy exploitation system and refined it,  expanded it,  and manipulated the economy with it to the level that the entire system is about to collapse.  Borrowing money has moved from borrowing to produce goods and services to  borrowing to lend to someone else at a higher interest rate.  

The Cures:     Of the five, the disease of debt is the place to start making changes.   Why start here?   Because the misuse of debt is, by far, the easiest to cure.   It has a physical, tangible aspect that is both doable and measurable.   It's the easiest to understand.  Not only that, redesigning our financial structures dramatically shifts our social context and sets the stage for major changes in other areas.

Step one is to wake up and realize that you are being lied to, manipulated, and milked for money.  Our goal is to examine the evidence, and  expose the lies.  Your job is:

To realize that debt is a serious social  problem, 

To learn the true nature of debt -- that debt has several underlying problems 

To learn how debt is destroying our society and the environment, 

To realize that it's possible to cure this disease,

To realize that we already know what the cause and the cure is,   

To realize that the cure is relatively easy to apply, 

To realize that corporations with publicly traded stock are in a position to lead the way out of this mess.

And to realize that the only reason the already known solution is not being applied is that most people are stuck in the other four diseases --   Ignorance,     Denial,        Refusal to change,     and     Being blinded by illusions

Resolving the corporate financial  problem is relatively easy.  This is the first and main focus of The New Corporate World Foundation.   For those corporations that choose to participate, creating The New Corporate World Foundation's  Win-Win Business Structure  will result in their getting out of debt and redirecting their profits to the Foundation's beneficiaries --  the employees (including management), the customers, the environment, and to the remaining stockholders.    As the value of this simple change in corporate management emerges, and as others follow their lead, and eventually the disease (unnecessary debt)  will wither and die.   Greatly reducing and/or eliminating corporate debt will set the stage for a multitude of additional changes.    

Redistribution Of  Wealth

.

Situation:      When one percent of the population controls ninety percent of the wealth, (as is the case in the United States) it doesn't take a genius to figure out that something is seriously wrong with the financial structure.   Presently most of the wealth is controlled by a very few people who are either hording the wealth or using it for extravagant self-aggrandizement.   Because the wealthy own the structures that control the government, the laws have been altered to favor the wealthy at the expense of everybody else.   The present destruction of the middle class is a clear example of this.   

Solution:     Creating and Using The New Corporate World Foundation's    Win-win Business Structure  will result in the redistribution of wealth on the planet at a level never seen or even imagined  before.   And it does so subtly, with grace and ease, and with  no violence.¹    In  the past, every major attempt to redistribute the wealth has been both violent and futile.  Every company that joins the NCW, will be a party to that redistribution.    In this aspect, alone, NCW's potential for social transformation is awesome.   

When billions of dollars are no longer going into the pockets of the super-wealthy, they will be going to  the foundations five beneficiaries  --   the employees,  management, the customers, the environment, and to the remaining stockholders.   

The corporations  "reason-to-be"  will expand to include the employees, the customers and the environment.   Making a profit will receive only its fair share of the pie and not consume the entire pie as it does now.   The bottom-line, net result will be a major redistribution of wealth accomplished by agreement and not by force.¹   

As just one example of this concept, you are invited to examine what social security would have been if the assets had been used to create an investment portfolio and not stolen and spent by the bureaucrats.   See the page title:  What Social Security Was Supposed to Be.²   The main difference is that NCW will have thousands of investment portfolios and not just a single huge one.   It's only a matter of time before NCW's collective financial power becomes so strong that it completely transforms the financial world.
