Alexandru Nicolita - Who Has Stolen Your Money?

Introduction

I am skeptical about the intrinsic value of money. Today's money is just paper with ink on it. The paper doesnt worth anything but it only represents a value. The value of the money is given by the confidence everybody has in the government that printed those money. If trust in that government is going down abruptly, then that printed paper is worth nothing.

Today's money is a derivative of debt. To be clearer, I would like to give the example of United States. The dollar is just a promise to pay back the debt. The U.S. has over 1 trillion dollars in debt, that is over 1000 billion dollars. How does the U.S. intend to pay its monumental debt? The answer is through taxes. So the dollar is the promise of the U.S. government to pay its debt by charging taxpayers.

In this book you will see my insights and skepticism of the government and its manipulations of our money. These concepts are explained so simply and clearly in the following pages that I think you will undoubtedly understand how the system is rigged against you. But we can take the very system designed to steal your money and your spirit - and make it profitable

for you. In many ancient tales, the genie takes wishes and makes them come true by devious means that make the wisher regret their wish.

Our government does the same thing. But in doing so, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Thats okay! We have our own genie. Well take the same actions the government does to rig the system against us and use those same actions to make ourselves successful

and wealthy.

Heres a stupid question, What is money? Most people will tell you its a dollar or a digital transaction representing dollars. They believe that money is a tool of exchange. They are, of course, right in one respect. But if it only has value when it is being used or exchanged, it really is not money its currency.

Currency must flow, just like a current (hence the name). It does not have actual value; it merely represents value. The paper that is used to print a dollar on is not actually worth a dollar. The paper does not have the value, it simply represents the value. It is not money because it holds no individual value.

To take it a step further, dollars are actually the opposite of value. Dollars are debt .

I am starting to feel your skepticism. Let me make it clearer: a dollar is a promise to pay back debt. The U.S. is over a trillion dollars in debt. Its a thousand billion. So how do we pay back such monumental debt?

The answer is taxes . Its painful, but its obvious. So, the dollar is the promise of the U.S. government to pay back over a trillion dollars of debt through taxing its citizens. And, to kick you while you are down, the debt is still growing. It is obvious. The dollar is actually debt.

What is less obvious is that debt will also be a solution.

In this book, I am using the word theft in connection with institutions we trust and hold sacred... institutions that are at the core of our culture. And Ill be accusing schools,

banks, legal system, government, politicians, and military. And Ill do this without any excuses. Lets fight back and stop the government and banks from stealing our money.

The Education Theft

Y OU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF who controls education, and who determines what is taught in our schools?

In 1903, a mason named John D. Rockefeller created the General Education Board. During the same period, another tycoon, Andrew Carnegie, established the Advancement of Teaching, a concept that underpins what is taught in schools. There are many controversial opinions. Some claim that the two have created these systems to improve education. Others claim the two have hijacked the education system. If so, why did Rockwell and Carengie want to influence the school agenda to direct what students were taught in school?

Critics say that before Rockefeller and Carnegie gained more control over the Americans and U.S. wealth, they needed a method to destroy people's free and entrepreneurial spirit and to turn them into mere robots, slaves, dependant on the government and the rich for whom they work.

Some old reports accused Rockefeller and Carnegie of orchestrating, and the words they used, are best not repeated. Today, looking back on those reports with decades of hindsight, there does seem to be some validity to their concerns. Those most critical of Rockefeller and Carnegie accused them of wanting to break the American spirit - and using the education system to do so. Americans are individuals who left their countries of birth for freedom from oppression and for the opportunity of a better life - a shot at the American Dream. This made the DNA of Americans too strong, too independent, and too ambitious to be subservient to the rich and powerful.

This why there is no financial education in the schools. Rockefellers General Education Board proclaimed that they were taking young people out of the Agrarian Age and

training them for the Industrial Age. And they did do that. But they did something else, too. We no longer looked to our parents for as a source for learning. We began to look to the government for our education. We stopped being small entrepreneurs, like farmers and store

shop owners, we instead, became employees for big entrepreneurs. We gave the government the keys to our minds and to our futures. This opened the door for further reliance on the government and a greater weakening of our spirit. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt

introduced Social Security during the height of the Great Depression. Today, Social Security, Medicare, Food Stamps, and now Obamacare are part of the DNA of the American culture.

It seems that more and more Americans today cannot survive without these government

programs. Weve stopped taking care of our elders, our health and our own retirement. The

government does that. We can no longer challenge our government because we are too dependent on them. We can no longer challenge our government because we can no longer think for ourselves.

If you look at whats going on in America and the world today, its not hard to see that Americans are becoming more dependent upon their government for life support. America today is less of a democracy and more of an oligarchy. It is a country with a few extremely
