Cliff Küle's Notes

Time to Regulate Derivatives... NY Times article focuses on Gary Gensler, Chairman of the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, who worked on Wall Street for 18 yrs & fought off regulation at almost every turn... "I disagree with anyone who says derivatives did not play a part in the crisis... Like San Francisco after the earthquake, we had a calamity, and now we need building codes."... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/11/business/11cftc.html (4*)

Goals:

- To bring together the wise advice of our Most Admired Advisers (MAA).

- To gather "the best on the web".Cliff Küle seeks to be a "filter" of quality from the vast quantity of presentations on subjects related to money.

- To present an unusual, but important view to understand economics & investment markets: DEFINE MONEY. Understand how it is issued, controlled & its designing structure before trying to understand economics & markets. Today's money is different than designed & defined in the U.S. Constitution. The power to issue & control today's money is Private, not Public; Controlled not Free.

Watch the 'National Debt Clock' spin higher & think of the loss of freedom; lost to those who control the money. Control exerts undue influence over how & where that money is spent, who gets the money before taxpayers get the bill.

Think of the irony that America quietly altered its money & returned to the British principles; principles the American Revolution fought against. Think of the irony that babies are born in debt; in a nation founded on the principle: 'No Taxation Without Representation'.

We hope our readers will understand Thomas Jefferson's warning: that giving control of our money to banks would be a greater threat to America's liberty than any foreign army .. & understand how today's financial problems are as Jefferson foretold & forewarned.

In Cliff Küle's opinion, the heart to economics is: 'How have you defined your Money? It is 'lifeblood' to economics. Anyone that has control of the money has power OVER the people, making the citizens into 'subjects' of a ruling class; debtors in servitude. It violates freedom that America was pledged to uphold.

- To present views that challenge assumptions; even our own. Critical evaluation of opposing views is essential for intellectual honesty & to avoid joining the lamestream media.
