When The Butterflies Come

by Rosemary Ness Bitner

  The glance Bob gave David was full of skepticism. “But these things are done on weekends when people aren’t working anyway. How do you square that with your thinking?”

  “Very simply, people are told in Torah that they are supposed to work for six days, possibly seven, a week, not just five. God worked for six days. Who in the hell do these people think they are, anyway? Do they think they get a bigger break than God? God worked his ass off for six days, and then he rested. He didn’t run any stupid marathons. So you see, it’s really about justifying idle foolishness, which is all communism is anyway. So now that we understand what we’re up against, I’ll tell you how I deal with it. You can beat these bastards if you put your mind to it.

  “In the trunk of my car, I keep two red flags on little flagpoles, and I also keep one of those flashing red lights you can plug into the car’s cigarette lighter. On the floor of the passenger side front seat I keep a bullhorn. Now when I’m trying to get somewhere, even if it’s not for business, and I see one of these marathon runs or some stupid parade, anything like that that’s designed by these fucking communists to get in my way and slow me down, I just take them head-on.

  “I get the flags out of my trunk and put them in the holders I have mounted on the inside roof headliner of the car. The mounts are just inside the rear windows, so the flags stick out of the car and make it twice as wide as it actually is. Then I plug the red flashing light into the cigarette lighter and stick it on the roof of the car. Last, but very important, is my bullhorn. Now I’m ready to take on these communist bastards. I flip on the flashing red light, flip on the car’s emergency flashers, and start driving straight at them while blowing the car’s horn.

  “When I’m right on top of them, I roll the driver’s side window down and yell at them with the bull horn. ‘Clear the road! Clear the road now! This is a civil emergency! Your lives are in danger! Get off the streets! Go home now! Lock your doors and close your windows to avoid radioactive fallout! Take shelter in your basements! Cover your children with lead shielding and put up ten gallons of fresh water! Run! Run now! Run for your lives! Ahhh, they’re coming!’

  “I have all of this written on a little three-by-five card I keep in the glove box, so when I come up against communist craziness, I’m prepared for them and I know just what to say. I have another variation of my ‘get off the road now’ program based upon an imminent meteor impact. I tell them to get into their cars and drive out of the city as fast as possible. Come to think of it, I should get one made up for a tornado strike too. Anyway, can you see what I’m talking about? Your time is worth more than their efforts to waste your time.”

  “What happens when you do this? Does anybody get hurt?”

  “Nah, it’s just a lot of fun to see them scramble to get away. I never actually run into anybody. They’re like cockroaches in the kitchen when you flip on the lights. After they run for it, I just pull off to a side street, take down the flags and the flashing light, and keep going where I was trying to go in the first place. Sometimes cops will show up, but everybody is so hysterical and incoherent the cops just scratch their heads and go off somewhere to get a donut. Anyway, if the cops ever stop me, I’ve got that covered too. I’ll just tell them I heard there was a big disaster on a shortwave radio that I somehow picked up on my car radio by a freak radio transmission. That should work.

  “The way I see it, I’m keeping God’s law, except for driving on the Sabbath when I do this on a Saturday. For the gentiles, Sunday is the Sabbath, so I don’t have any Torah rule violations when I run at them on a Sunday. So I’m good with God on this program. Well, if a cop stops me on a Sunday, I just tell him these people were attacking my religion, which tells me I’ve got to work on Sundays, and they were intentionally blocking the way. I have the right to use the road on my Jewish workday.

  “The only time a cop stopped me because of this he just threw up his hands and drove away, so I’m sure what I’m telling you to do is okay with the police, the Highway Patrol, FBI, CIA, NSA, the Homeland Security manuals, U.S. Army intelligence manuals, the Outer Space NASA Planetary Discovery Regulations Manual, the French Foreign Legion Marching Orders, the South Pole Penguin Regulations, and the Universal Dog Catchers’ and Cat Neutering Manuals. So you see, there’re all kinds of rules and obstacles people will come up with that are designed to waste your time, but if you think straight about these things, there’s always an exception. Your job is to think of the exceptions. Just remember to always think outside the box. Your time was given to you by God, and the communist bastards have no right to waste it. Keep on thinking like I do and you’ll go far in this life.”

  With the conclusion of the lesson, David gave Bob a pat on the back. Bob departed for the office with the understanding the two would meet up for drinks later in the day.

  Money, the Second Lesson

  “Money is the second greatest gift that God gave you after time, which is a terrific gift if you don’t waste it. Without time you wouldn’t have been born because being born took time. And you also wouldn’t need to know anything because you wouldn’t have time to learn anything in the first place. So now you need to learn about money, which is the next most important thing after time, about which you now know everything. Now before you can know what money is, you first have to know what money isn’t. When somebody gets a paycheck, does that mean he’s made money? No, it doesn’t. He hasn’t made any money at all. When you go to the store and pay for something with a check or a credit card, are you paying with money? No, you aren’t. There was no money exchanged in either transaction, no money at all.”

  Bob cocked his head and looked at David as if he had an extra head. “Well, are all these people who work for a paycheck or who buy stuff with a check or credit card just nuts?” he asked.

  “Well, yes, they are nuts. As a matter of fact, the entire world is nuts. I’m the only person in the world who has a sane mind when it comes to money. Dad explained this to me very thoroughly, and since he’s died I’ve done a lot more thinking about money and have refined my thinking about it. Now I’ve got it completely understood like no one else in the world. So when you understand what I’m about to tell you about money, you’ll have a huge advantage over everybody else in the world too.

  “I already told you what a no-good slimy son of a bitch Woodrow Wilson was, so we don’t need to go over the creation of the Federal Reserve and income tax and how mistaken those two abominations were. Since the creation of the Fed and income tax over a hundred years ago, no single politician, president, senate, or congress has put forth legislation to repeal those betrayals of the peoples’ trust, with one exception. Every congress and every president from Wilson to the present turned their back on the people of the United States of America. When people figure out how badly they’re screwed, they will scream for change.”

  David was excited and spitting out his words as he continued.

  “According to section eight of Article One of the Constitution, the article that defines the powers of the legislature, it’s congress that has the powers to coin money and regulate the value of the coins. President Jefferson warned that it was dangerous to have a private bank in charge of the nation’s money. He gave that warning thirty years after he wrote the Declaration of Independence. Think about that. A key founding father of the country, after only two previous presidents, worried enough to warn the people about losing control over their money. The control over money was in the peoples’ hands, not a privately owned bank’s as we have now. No congressperson except one since Wilson, coalition of states, or president has introduced a law or Constitutional amendment to overturn the Federal Reserve Act, nor has any state of the United States been able to overturn that wrongheaded legislation through the federal courts. We’re stuck with a privately owned bank, The Federal Reserve Bank of the United States, exactly what Thomas Jefferson warned against. It controls our currency using laws that make us use printed paper fiat as if it were real money, which it isn’t.r />
  “Why and how did this happen that, in the time from September to December 1913, the American people got screwed out of having power over their own money? Dad explained that there were concerns at the time about bank runs and failures highlighted by the collapse of the Knickerbockers’ Trust Company in the year 1907. The house banking and currency committee wanted to create a centralized system of banking so reserves could be marshaled to give credit to troubled banks so as not to have runs where depositors panic and take their money out and collapse the banks. That’s what used to happen when banks made bad loans. Now they make the dumbest loans ever and citizen taxpayers must pony up their wealth in higher taxes and higher prices to paper over bankers’ messes. The dollar was gold-backed then, as were treasury bonds. That had to change, so the bankers’ sales job went to allow for a ‘flexible’ currency. And the currency had to be managed by smart dudes behind curtains who could spot trouble and prop up troubled banks, kind of like the Wizard of Oz behind the curtain makes everything wonderful in the Emerald City.

  “It was a charade, a contrived takeover of America’s banking system by J. P. Morgan, part of a long-term plan to steal gold and silver from the American people and move it into the hands of the wealthiest families of the world. Dad said Knickerbockers’ failure was a manufactured crisis because their clearing firm, National Commerce Bank, failed to clear Knickerbockers’ securities transactions during a market drop. But it happened for no good reason, as the National had over sixty million dollars of deposits at the time. It had plenty of market muscle to absorb Knickerbockers’ trades, but Morgan saw a chance to eliminate competitors by declaring Knickerbockers’ insolvent. Bank runs of the time ruined many Morgan competitors and Morgan, with government help, propped up the financial system and restored confidence in the surviving banks, especially the Morgan bank. He got the government’s goodwill and the inside track on bank legislation.

  “Morgan, along with a group of wealthy private families, including the Red Shield Rothschild group, the Rockefellers, the House of Windsor, and the wealthiest families of Italy and France, successfully bought off the peoples’ representatives in the house banking and currency committee to pass the Federal Reserve Bill out of a committee to a voice vote the night before Christmas recess. Few congressmen were even there, and most had been drinking. But they passed the legislation to find out what was in it. Dad believed these committee members got big payoffs for screwing the American people. They took away the peoples’ power over money in exchange for payoffs, and in violation of the Constitution. The people didn’t fight that legislation. They didn’t get to read it ahead of time. Why not? When the government intends to steal from the people, they always lie about it and never publish the proposed legislation in advance. People tend to be ill-informed and disinterested. When people insist on being stupid, somebody will always steal from them.

  “Louis McFadden, congressman and chair of the house banking committee, tried hard to derail the Federal Reserve. He blamed it for causing the Great Depression in order to consolidate its powers. He blamed the Fed for financing the communist Bolshevik Revolution. Dad swore that McFadden was a great champion of the American people. John F. Kennedy was a champion also, by his pocket veto of the Coinage Act of 1963, but unfortunately that pocket veto resulted in Kennedy’s death. True champions can’t be timid. A true champion must stand up and fight evil head-on. Dad regarded McFadden and Kennedy as champions.

  “Dad liked jazz and rhythm and blues. He loved the song ‘Louis, Louis’ by Richard Berry. Most people think the song is about a lovesick sailor at sea, pining to get into the pants of his girl on the beach. Dad didn’t think so. He thought Berry understood the scam that was pulled on the American people with the Federal Reserve Act and was expressing Louis McFadden’s frustration at not being able to overturn that wrongheaded law. Berry was a genius. His song tells people to go back to how things were, back to the honest money Kennedy wanted before they murdered him.

  “When Kennedy was murdered, who benefitted the most? Johnson became president, bankers controlled the people with fiat money, the military industrial complex got lots of freshly printed fiat money to fight the Vietnam War, and the socialists got money for Great Society programs. The war and the social programs were a gigantic waste of resources and a huge bust. Berry called it before it happened, according to Dad. Berry’s song worried the bankers, and they got the FBI to investigate. Dad said that was a ruse. The FBI just wanted to portray the song as an assault upon the morals of our youths. It was a J. Edgar Hoover obsession, or so that was the flap over the song at the time, but that wasn’t it at all.

  “The FBI has never given a damn about morals. With the slimy, filthy, cock-sucking blackmailer J. Edgar Hoover in charge of the FBI you’d have to be a lunatic to buy into that morality bullshit, but the FBI did its best to protect the bankers who control congress and the President. The powers that ran the country then didn’t want the public to understand the meaning of the song. The public still doesn’t understand the meaning of the song. The public doesn’t understand anything.

  “Politicians who try to be champions of the people can’t get anywhere in a banker-controlled country. They can’t get anywhere because the American people are too stupid to get behind honest leadership for their own good. People would rather watch reality shows like Dancing with the Stars, or the NFL, anything that doesn’t make them think. Americans aren’t going to know what money isn’t until the day they no longer have a country. They are that stupid. They are lazy idiots being eaten alive from the inside out. They have a vampire squid’s beak sucking the life out of them, stealing their wealth and making them into debt slaves.

  “Dad thought the Fed was put together by the top bankers to suck out wealth over generations. They permanently installed their families in the top one-tenth of one percent of wealth in the world and screwed everyone else. In effect, there’s a leech sucking the wealth blood from the American people, and by world fiat central banking with international currency reserve holdings and swap lines, the world’s people.

  “I’ve now explained what money isn’t. If Americans don’t soon get it that they don’t have any real money, the Russians will drop nuclear bombs on our cities and the Chinese will invade and kill us all. Then the whole country will be populated with Chinese and Russians, and our country’s daughters will all become sex slaves to the Arabs and the Chinese because those people know what money really is. Am I making myself clear? If there’s something you don’t understand, just ask.”

  “Well, sort of. You’re sounding a bit extreme. Tell me again what real money isn’t.”

  “Real money isn’t paper. It’s not a credit card balance. It’s not numbers in a checking account. It’s not what the government wants you to think it is. The dollar is not real money. It’s a piece of the country’s debt. It’s a fraction of the debt the country owes. The dollar is not redeemable in gold or silver. It represents a tiny part of the bad loan assets the Federal Reserve carries on its balance sheet. Your non-money paper dollar is your fractional ownership of some sub-prime auto loans, sub-prime mortgages, government debt, and any other crap paper the banks unload on Mother Fed when the banks can’t meet their regulatory requirements for loan performance against their highly leveraged tiny base of bank shareholder equity. It’s not rocket science.

  “A dollar is a debt chit in a giant worldwide pyramid debt scheme. The dollar, the euro, the yen, the Swiss franc, the Canadian dollar, the Hong Kong dollar, the Aussie, the kiwi, the yuan, and all the rest of them are all debt chits in a worldwide ‘fuck the little guy’ debt scheme. Honesty and morality are on one side of a seesaw board and fiat money is on the other side. When fiat goes into ascendance, morality and honesty descend. Honesty and fiat money are opposites.

  “Okay. Well, then, what is money?” Bob asked sincerely.

  “Money is gold and silver and nothing else.”

  “What about platinum, oil, diamonds?”

  “Just gold a
nd silver,” David replied with force.

  “How do you get there?”

  “Simple. Since the dawn of man, gold represented the god of the sun, the god of daylight, the greater god, whereas silver represented the goddess of the moon, the goddess of night, the lesser god. Those concepts of worshiping gold and silver by relating them to celestial deities is ingrained in the innermost consciousness and sub-consciousness of mankind all over the world. Central banks use gold, the greater god, as their base plate bedrock asset to give them credibility with other central banks. Upon that gold they can have their member banks engaging in lending activities using paper chits and pretending there is gold behind the paper for domestic money use, which isn’t true. Silver is the people’s money, the lesser money for all us mud slops who are not central bankers. Silver is the metal people turn to when they realize the central bankers are screwing them by foisting a ‘paper is money, wink-wink, nudge-nudge’ scheme upon them.

  “There’s an old saying, probably started with the German Yids. It says, ‘You can fool some of the people all of the time.’ That would apply to today’s Americans, for they truly are a crowd of dummies. The next part of the saying goes like this: ‘You can fool all of the people some of the time.’ Today, that applies to the world at large because all the world’s peoples are using paper money presently. The last part says ‘But you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.’ That’s where we’re going next.”

  “You mean what the people will do when they realize they’ve been had?”

  “Exactly right. The day is fast approaching when people will see what money isn’t. They will see the elites as modern imperialists, only modern elites don’t use an occupying army like the Brits did in India and America, or the French in Indo-China and Africa, or the Spaniards in Central and South America, or the Portuguese in Gao and Brazil. Modern elites use fiat money to enslave people by getting them into debt, owing currency back with interest, and then undermining the debtors’ ability to repay by setting up competition for the project the debtors borrowed against. The NAFTA Treaty and Trans-Pacific Trade Partnership are cheap competition American workers cannot beat. Debtors see a decline in price realized for product or service sold, and debts carried by debtors become impossible to repay. Debtors borrow more to stay afloat. The political class sells their constituents up the river as debt slaves for money obtained from the bankers. It’s a scheme to keep labor working cheaply for capital.
