Ethics vs. Dubyaman By Irwin Schweenie          The recent stock trading scandles (enron etc.) have brought to question the credibiblity of the stock market. Fool confidence is at an all time low which means that our pipe dream inflated "economy" is in "trouble". To remedy this new "crisis" in a time riddled with "crisis" our fearless selfrightous patriotic teen idol, dubyaman, has added a new name to our current inquisition hit list.          Dubyaman has not only vowed to rid the world of evil doers, but has now added fraud commiting corrupt ceo's and companies to his ever growing list of "public enemies". On this the eve of our america-nism reich, I feel it nesessary, out of duty and purely spiteful disdain, to give you our readers, and our beloved lazy-eyed superhero, a quick lesson in ethics.          The hunt begines for these advocators of curruption, those who caused our once perfect economy to go bad. We make ready the cattle cars and fire the ovens. But before we begin asking people for their papers, let us be sure to divide cattle form cattle and apples from horse apples. Let us be sure that we do not allow the pimp to call the whore dirty.          In my opinion, consistency is of utmost importance. If you can not do right, at least be consistent. Instead of pointing fingers and throwing blame we need to go after the instigator. I mean, really folks, what do you expect? The stock market is as bogus and artificial as any other pyramid sceme. Any moron can easily see nothing is free. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. For every gain there must also be a loss. You all played with the whore, so pay her, you got herpies, get over it. If the federal government is to eleminate fraud, what better place to start than at the source: the federal government.          Article 1 section 10 of the constitution (def. 3. b. :the structure, composition, physical makeup, or nature of something.) of the United States of America clearly states "No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.          No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress.          No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay."          Why gold and silver coin? Gold and silver will always be gold and silver. They never change in value. They never change. They are valued the world over. (why? I don't know) Gold and silver can not be counterfitted. They can not be manufactured from other materials. They are a stable and reliable currency. Why then, do we have paper money? (Especially when considering paper money is not lawful, it is plainly and obviously unconstitutional.)          When our paper money was first inflicted upon us it was during the civil war, the feds didn't have the dough to push the war effort over the top, so they began to print paper "bills" (isn't it interesting a "bill" is money owed, why then doesn't the government pay off it's bills?) to pay their men and buy supplies. Basically, Lincoln had the treasury print up a bunch of "I owe you's" that were issued and backed up by the promise that they were redeemable for lawful money of account (gold and silver coin). For example, if you had a ten dollar silver certificate, you could take it to the treasury and trade it in for ten dollars of silver. In other words, you give the treasury a "bill" and they pay the debt with real money, gold or silver coin.          These Gold and silver certificates carried on in use until the first half of the 20th century when, during another "time of crisis", we were robbed of our gold standard. We then had only silver certificates.          Later during the reign of kennedy our silver standard was also vanquished giving birth to the current "federal reserve note" which doesn't even carry the promise of being backed by gold or silver.          I spoke to a banker once and inquired of him diligently as to what makes our finantial world tick. He freely admitted that there is not nearly enough gold or silver to even remotly back up our current inflated number of bills. Inflated is another word for exageration or a flat out lie. Our money is "inflated" because we think we have more than we actually do.          What makes our paper money different than counterfit bills? Nothing. The only difference is that it is made by a different group of theives. A few days ago, I spoke to an engraver who works for the treasury dept. I asked him what made our money legitimate, seeing as how it is not and can not be backed up by gold or silver. He could only say that it was legitamate because the Government made it, and that it is widely accepted all over the world. His words were something like "you can go anywhere and they'll take a us dollar lickety split."          Is a false promise which is accepted in ignorance made legitamate by the ignorance thereof? Why then were the corporate scape goats in the wrong? If no one ever found out about their fraud then everything they did would still be on the up and up. Perhaps the wrong is not in commiting crime but in being caught.          We don't live in a world based upon right or wrong, but upon what is legal, or feasible. Our paper money is unconstitutional! It is fraudulant, it is based upon blindly misplaced trust. I am for punishing fraud and corruption, but let us punish it at its source. Greenspan, fuckface. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Back
