CHURCH of CLIMATOLOGY EXPOSED !!
Only
an idiot would not be
for clean air and water, lush tropical vegetation, full diversity in
all flora and fauna, a healthy environment produces nutrient dense
pesticide free food supply which we humans must have to remain
healthy. All disease is due to malnutrition, including those who
eat
too much worthless food. Just because it looks like a carrot does
not
mean it is one. All food was organic before the 1850s, our
genetics
is based on thousands of years of organic food. Anything meant to
kill
is dangerous to all life for we are all based on precisely the same
biological and genetic mechanisms.
(PhysOrg.com) -- New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of CO2 has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of CO2 having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now.
New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now.
This suggests that terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans have a much greater capacity to absorb CO2 than had been previously expected.
The results run contrary to a significant body of recent research which expects that the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans to absorb CO2 should start to diminish as CO2 emissions increase, letting greenhouse gas levels skyrocket. Dr Wolfgang Knorr at the University of Bristol found that in fact the trend in the airborne fraction since 1850 has only been 0.7 ± 1.4% per decade, which is essentially zero.
The strength of the new study, published online in Geophysical Research Letters, is that it rests solely on measurements and statistical data, including historical records extracted from Antarctic ice, and does not rely on computations with complex climate models.
This work is extremely important for climate change policy, because emission targets to be negotiated at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen early next month have been based on projections that have a carbon free sink of already factored in. Some researchers have cautioned against this approach, pointing at evidence that suggests the sink has already started to decrease.
So is this good news for climate negotiations in Copenhagen? “Not necessarily”, says Knorr. “Like all studies of this kind, there are uncertainties in the data, so rather than relying on Nature to provide a free service, soaking up our waste carbon, we need to ascertain why the proportion being absorbed has not changed”.
Another result of the study is that emissions from deforestation might have been overestimated by between 18 and 75 per cent. This would agree with results published last week in Nature Geoscience by a team led by Guido van der Werf from VU University Amsterdam. They re-visited deforestation data and concluded that emissions have been overestimated by at least a factor of two.

MAJOR
Roadblock to PROPER
planetary government EXPOSED
Wise Friend:
Photo above says it
all, does it not ?
This is a major victory in the struggle FOR PROPER
PLANETARY GOVERNMENT...
As counter intuitive as that may sound, please consider the following:
Remember
to always separate an idea from its proponents & detractors, while
keeping BOTH honest, THAT is our job until our work is complete
and manifest as WE-R©, i.e. Wageless Economy - Robotic©
Say it: "Planetary
Government Just Makes Sense..."
but not unless it is based on truth in all aspects, i.e. if fraud is
wrong in "conventional" government, it is also wrong in planetary
government, and thankfully many are, perhaps not intentionally,
making
sure we implement Planetary Government with higher standards than
conventional government, which is not saying a whole lot, so keep up
the good work in exposing waste fraud and abuse so the roll out of
planetary government is as fast and smooth as possible for there is no
question the current uncoordinated mess has run its course, there is no
question that as few governments as possible, i.e. ONE government is
better than thousands and thousands of so called "governments"
running a muck, each cesspools of corruption and influence peddling,
with just one we can uniformly root out corruption, bravo and a great
thanks to those who have exposed this latest multi-headed hydra that is
but the bath water on the way to proper
Planetary Government.
So make sure you know
what you are fighting for if you are fighting,
and know that Planetary Government is the best approach for it will
eliminate all the superfluous layers that only serve as hiding places
for corruption that this latest, much appreciated great work of brave
people has exposed, which will only speed the arrival of PROPER
Planetary Government, something we all want, need, NOW, as much as WE-R© needed. None of
us can count on someone else to do what only we each can uniquely do or
be ourselves, that is why we each exist. As an illustration, a
man named Tarzan. went before a tribunal before being admitted to
heaven or hell, whereupon he apologized for not being more like Moses
or pick your favorite religious figure, and he was surprised when the
answer came back that they were not disappointed in that, no no no,
they were disappointed he was not more like Tarzan, or whoever you happen to be.
Of
course there is always the concern that this discovery of allegedly
damning emails and other correspondence {below} is fabricated
and was bait, yet another excuse to lock down the internet, but
everyone we hear from thinks the cache of documents
linked below is authentic and quite revelatory.
Remember all sensible
people want
clean air and water, and these guys, misguided or not, were not working
toward that end, only claiming to, knowing or not, hence the importance
of exposing
lies, so we can really address real problems and clean up REAL
pollution, i.e. the toxic stuff, the mercury, the lead, cadmium,
chromium, the viruses, the cancers, the pesticides, etc
etc, that these power hungry fiends are literally contaminating
everyone and everything on earth
with to fuel their mad rush to their own heaven on earth while creating
hell for everyone else so. They are even using it to dumb down
their competition, as they speed off with their ill gotten goods other
people built, pumping exhaust into your mouth as you try to keep up
with them as they pull the rug out from under your feet on the way out
the back door with the chandeliers and silverware.
Bravo, all things
work out for the glory of the Creator, no matter what any of us
"believe"
our goal to be, the Master of the Universe cannot be denied. So
we have
corrupt impatient as well as proper proponents of Planetary Government
vs. noble well
meaning
detractors of the same, TOGETHER making sure Planetary Government is
done right in spite of each other and without realizing that is what is
happening, amazing !!! will wonders ever cease ?
Paradoxically, we need the greed of some to be steered in the right
direction for everyone's benefit !!!

Summary:
Real money
is the fairest, fastest, best way
to build The Robotic Wageless Economy©
Real vs. Fake People, Progress, Money
If you are like me, you want real
answers and real solutions to
challenges,
lasting solutions, that with today's technology are
more than
possible, they are just begging to deliver their goods
to real
people in reality, not some far off promise like some
"FREE Pizza
Tomorrow" sign in a window: Always True?,
Yet never
Delivered !!! or in the case of Paper
Money: "Promise
to Pay
Bearer on Demand", when with Real Money, i.e. Gold Coin,
you are
already PAID the moment you have it in hand !!!
With
the proper technology roll out via patient, sober leadership,
never mind
whether you, your neighbor, or the CEO of Walmart
understands
it yet, for that day may never come at the same time
for
everyone, we can solve every challenge facing us with the proper
technique
& knowledge, i.e. Technology: then there will be
plenty of
"time" later for everyone to "understand" it, point is, at
least you
will be here to have the potential to understand it.
Now a
whirlwind discussion of some of our biggest challenges facing
us, which
can each be solved in the blink of an eye, if enough
people
understand fast enough, everyone else can be filled in later
as their
curiosity leads them.
Abuse

Nations to Print Money and Flags of convenience etc.}
PAPER MONEY's ROLE in Delaying
REAL Progress
The
whole notion of paper money is problematic, multinational or otherwise.
When money has intrinsic value, i.e. it does not just simply represent value, but is itself valuable, it goes without saying that the holders of such real money cannot have it devalued nearly as easily as those holding even the best paper money paper money can buy !!!
That being said, need we say anymore ?
There should not be different "brands" of paper money, national or otherwise, they are all tainted, manipulable, but not gold, gold is gold is gold, no matter whose face is emblazoned on the coin!
Not only should there not be different national currencies, there should not be paper currency of any kind, only gold coins of regulated weight and composition. [other precious metals are fine too, think intrinsic value, requires no trust] As for notes fixed to gold, the temptation is too great to keep the ratios fixed, they have never remained fixed, always slipped, always.
With gold, trust in no person is required after a transaction using gold as the medium of exchange has been made, the gold's value will fluctuate only based on the availability of gold itself, not the whims of those with ability to print up willy nilly oodles of more paper currency.
People who inanely argue that if there is not enough gold, economic activity will slow to a halt are just plain silly, perhaps even disingenuous, and they know it: the value of whatever gold there is available will simply rise, which is a good thing, not bad, free market will still function, and best of all, no one's savings, if in gold, will be devalued. That a Gold Standard was the cause of economic trouble in the past is one of the biggest lies of all time, and only served to remove gold from the hands of the pliant common folk, a gargantuan theft which continues unabated.
People need a reason to save, be frugal, efficient and sober in all dealings, and money that cannot easily lose its value due simply to the whim of coordinated action by some humans is crucial to that end. As real as your money is, is as real as you are some feel.
Unless you have this correct premise, one can spin any kind of complex story one wants, attempting to overflow the buffers of one's readers to the point they forget the premise and agree with your points out of sheer exhaustion somewhere in the middle, via endless comparisons of permutations of the same faulty premises re: the numerous paper currencies' relationships with each other, all rubbish, figuratively and actually !
Unless you can hold a continuous logically connected series of thoughts from beginning to end, you can be convinced of anything, including that paper money is anything but a crude parlor trick.
Paper money is almost as bad as electronic money. A regression of virtual money. All theft is based on fraud. Paper money is a lie and requires trust that just does not exist. It says I am worth more than the paper I am printed on. Cashless is even more dependent on trust, whereas Gold is Gold, and is itself worth something as a material of remarkable usefulness.
Electronic money is even worse than paper money: there is no way to know how much there really is out there, almost like paper money, both of which can be created out of thin air, unlike gold, but with the Electronic money's added danger of it not being possible to make a run on a bank if there is nothing physical to demand, i.e. not even paper money !!!
Then the only way to restore equilibrium after the type of fraud possible in a cashless society is usually war, since things can become so out of whack when even the run on banks mechanism is gone, an implicit result of cashless. And lots of unhappy ripped off people are better done away with then dealt with as the tragic rationalization goes, and has often been the solution historically, aka wars to reduce the population, all other excuses as cover for this simple fact.
Now contrast cashless with wageless, and you will really begin to see that all forms of money, even gold, are really only a way to organize matter beneath those creating the particular monetary system in question, i.e. those first issuing "money" in whatever form, and that a wageless economy where all work is performed by robots and computers is where we are headed, and that what we have today is a form of it, but a brutal form where real breathing people are turned into robots by the issuers of paper money !!!, when real robots would be so much more, shall we say, humane and sensible to use than real humans as robots !!!
Forex Not Possible with Real Money
The whole notion of 4X itself is flawed because it is a leak in the system, where differences are exploited, and only those with reach across multiple regions can reasonably exploit such differences. One can argue that all such exploitation eventually brings progressive equilibrium, but in so saying you have admitted that exploitation is part of that "progress".
Besides, those addicted to such easy money, will and have always endeavored to maintain the differences intentionally via pseudo-representative "governance" commandeered by extra-governmental international mechanism keeping exploitable differences in place, milking the differential, just as one does with Ocean Thermal Energy, Geothermal Energy, the Hegelian Dialectic, thereby remaining in the above the fray position from which to cherry pick indefinitely. Why should this situation EVER change unless we provide a better way ?
Before we had the robotic
technology we now possess, many of these arguments and "peculiar ways
of doing things" may have made some sense in that there was no better
way to achieve "progress", but with the level of progress thus far
achieved, ironically in large part via exploitation, it is now possible
to exploit only inanimate
matter, i.e. robots and computers made from
inanimate matter and possessing no will of their own, as hard as it is
for those accustomed to exploiting humans to admit this, it is
nevertheless true that all such exploitation of contrived differences
enforced on humans is now no longer
"necessary", and the big concern now
is how will those who took the status quo to be ordained, how will they
now behave knowing there is a better way, and will they help lead the
transition to "The Robotic Wageless Economy©

Each
of them is one in a million. They
number six thousand on a planet of six billion. They run our
governments, our largest corporations, the powerhouses of international
finance, the media, world religions, and, from the shadows, the world's
most dangerous criminal and terrorist organizations. They are the
global superclass, and they are shaping the history of our time.
Today's
superclass has achieved unprecedented levels of wealth and power. They
have globalized more rapidly than any other group. But do they have
more in common with one another than with their own countrymen, as
nationalist critics have argued? They control globalization more than
anyone else. But has their influence fed the growing economic and
social inequity that divides the world? What happens behind closed door
meetings in Davos or aboard corporate jets at 41,000 feet? Conspiracy
or collaboration? Deal-making or idle self-indulgence? What does the
rise of Asia and Latin America mean for the conventional wisdom that
shapes our destinies? Who sets the rules for a group that operates
beyond national laws?
Drawn from scores of exclusive interviews and extensive original
reporting, Superclass answers
all of these questions and more. It draws back the curtain on a
privileged society that most of us know little about, even though it
profoundly affects our everyday lives. It is the first in-depth
examination of the connections between the global communities of
leaders who are at the helm of every major enterprise on the planet and
control its greatest wealth. And it is an unprecedented examination of
the trends within the superclass, which are likely to alter our
politics, our institutions, and the shape of the world in which we

April 30, 2008,![]() SuperClass is a Must Read If you want to be all you can be, you need to understand what the world looks like through the eyes of those at the top. SuperClass is an excellent book that will help you to know yourself better as you get to know the elites better. Once you better understand the Elites, you can then proceed to reach out to them, because they are in the best position to change the world in directions that perhaps only those NOT at the top can fully appreciate the need for. You must let them know you exist and are important and that with their reach and leverage, while adopting the correct approach, they can change the world in ways few fully appreciate. Specifically you want to understand the coming 'Robotic Wageless Economy', and then reach out to the elites and persuade them to steer the world in the direction where the 'Robotic Wageless Economy' can become a reality in our lifetimes, emancipating humans from the machinery of economy and ushering in an Age of Recreation never before possible, and more likely if the SuperClass realizes its potential to achieve it, so READ the book SuperClass, you will enjoy it, and you will be better positioned to change the world by leveraging the SuperClass yourself !

Some 6,000 people, about one for every million in the world's population, drive the decisions that directly affect the global economic climate in which our governments, corporations, military leaders, technocrats and workers must strive. In other words, they run our lives. So declares Rothkopf (International Affairs/Columbia Univ.; Running the World: the Inside Story of the National Security Council and the Architects of American Power, 2005, etc.), who dubs this elite the "Superclass." Members may be found in places like Davos, Switzerland, where the World Economic Forum convenes annually, or at gatherings in California's Bohemian Grove, where Republican powerbrokers howl and grunt like Neanderthals. Though international in origin, they share a number of traits: wealth (sometimes mega-wealth), blue-chip educations garnered at world-renowned universities and access to networked ways of getting things done that few of us can even imagine. Key clusters of these individuals comprise the top functionaries of national governments and those who peddle influence among them, the corporate elite, the power media and the military/industrial complex (now far more integrated and tightly knit across national borders). Together they are essentially herding the industrialized nations, including Asian giants China and India, into a corral that the author labels "global governance." His book details the means by which they acquire, negotiate and exercise the clout to do this. "It is hard to ignore the many ways they are the primary beneficiaries of the global order that they shape," opines Rothkopf, partner in an international consulting firm and a Washington insider in the Clinton Administration who boasts firsthand experience of how power is wielded. An impressively knowledgeable guide to the world's elite and how they have coalesced as a kind of natural order. Agent: Esmond Harmsworth/Zachary Shuster Harmsworth

"Whether
you like it or not, there is no way to deny the enormous,
disproportionate, concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a
relatively small number of people in the world today. David Rothkopf
has described who they are, and how they operate and interact, vividly
in his valuable (and often disturbing) new book."--(Richard Holbrooke,
Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations)
Lawrence Summers
"The
activities of a
growing cosmopolitan elite are having profound effects. They can be
highly desirable when they promote international cooperation or more
problematic when the interests of the elites diverge from those of
their citizens. David Rothkopf's Superclass skillfully probes these
issues and many more and should be read by all those concerned with the
international economy and the evolving global system."--(Lawrence
Summers, former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury)
Ernesto Zedillo
"Thanks
to Rothkopf's
special blend of analysis, direct interaction with his subjects and
vivid writing, this is a must read book for people interested in
understanding the genesis of leadership in the new global
economy."--(Ernesto Zedillo, Director of the Yale Center for the Study
of Globalization and Former President of Mexico)
Clyde Prestowitz
"David
Rothkopf has
written a super book about the people presently executing an historic
shift of world economic and political power and about how they are
doing it and why. If you want to know how your choices are being
determined and the circumstances of your life conditioned, you must
read this book."--(Clyde Prestowitz, President of the Economic Strategy
Institute and author of Three Billion New Capitalists)
Alan Blinder
"No,
no vast conspiracy
runs the world. But, according to Rothkopf's book, a tiny but diverse
global elite, a Superclass, comes close. His finely-honed prose takes
the reader on a joyous, entertaining, and erudite romp around the globe
in search of that class."--(Alan Blinder, Former Vice Chairman of the
Federal Reserve Bank of the United States)
EXCERPTs

Overwhelming
and
perhaps confusing as this list [of 6000] may be, it reveals the complex
nature of connections among members of the SuperClass. It is, by
necessity, a partial list for a small cross section of people, but
already illustrates how tangled a web of relationships between
individuals is. For all its twists and turns and intricate
linkages, it explains in the clearest way possible how Schwarzman and
others in the SuperClass have come to see their group as such a "small
world", with everyone just a connection or two away from everyone else.
So
among the roughly
six thousand members of the superclass there are countless threads
linking members to one another. Business associations. Investments.
Board Memberships. Old school ties. Exclusive
neighborhoods. Aviation terminals. Meetings.
Restaurants. Hotels.
In
fact, spread
around the world though they are, rare as they may be among the teeming
billions on the planet, it is easy to see them as a community and to
see the geography of that community take shape at least in the mind's
eye - a geography that stretches from South Kensington to the Upper
East Side of Manhattan; from St. Tropez to Dubai; from the breeding
grounds at Harvard, Yale, Cambridge, and Tokyo University to meeting
place on the boards of cultural institutions, banks, and political
bodies. Linked together by common interests, a common culture,
and private aircraft, these islands become a glittering, superpowered
archipelago amid oceans of aspirants and of the disenfranchised -
oceans of people who work for them, are buffeted by their market
decisions, are swept along by their political impulses, are profoundly
influenced by their views.
It
is not a geography
visible on any map, [except perhaps in books like
this] yet it touches the lives in the global era more
surely than do the fading borders and old distance scales found on any
common globe. Over the course of the next several chapters, I try
to put that geography into context - in terms of issues, history, and a
more detailed look at the membership of this emerging SuperClass.
Each
of them is one in a million. They number six
thousand on a planet of six billion. They run our governments, our
largest corporations, the powerhouses of international finance, the
media, world religions, and, from the shadows, the world's most
dangerous criminal and terrorist organizations. They are the global
superclass, and they are shaping the history of our time.
Today's
superclass has achieved unprecedented levels of wealth and power. They
have globalized more rapidly than any other group. But do they have
more in common with one another than with their own countrymen, as
nationalist critics have argued? They control globalization more than
anyone else. But has their influence fed the growing economic and
social inequity that divides the world? What happens behind closeddoor
meetings in Davos or aboard corporate jets at 41,000 feet? Conspiracy
or collaboration? Deal-making or idle self-indulgence? What does the
rise of Asia and Latin America mean for the conventional wisdom that
shapes our destinies? Who sets the rules for a group that operates

Drawn from scores of exclusive interviews and extensive original

all of these questions and more. It draws back the curtain on a
privileged society that most of us know little about, even though it
profoundly affects our everyday lives. It is the first in-depth

John Paulson, power personified |
WHO rules the world? The most familiar answers to this question are so poisoned by paranoia that it is tempting to dismiss the question itself. If the Jews are so powerful, then why have they had such a dreadful time of things? If the men and women of Davos are so mighty, then why do they keep messing everything up?
Yet the fact that so many people give foolish answers to a question does not discredit the question. The rise of nation states produced national ruling classes. It would be odd if the current integration of the world economy did not produce new global elites—business people and financiers who run global companies and global politicians who steer supra-national organisations such as the European Union (EU) and the International Monetary Fund.
David Rothkopf, a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, argues that these elites constitute nothing less than a new global “superclass”. They have all the clubby characteristics of the old national ruling classes, but with the vital difference that they operate on the global stage, far from mere national electorates.
They attend the same universities (Mr Rothkopf calculates that Harvard, Stanford and the University of Chicago are now the world's top three superclass producers). They are groomed in a handful of world-spanning institutions such as Goldman Sachs. They belong to the same clubs—the Council on Foreign Relations in New York is a particular favourite—and sit on each other's boards of directors. Many of them shuttle between the public and private sectors. They meet at global events such as the World Economic Forum at Davos and the Trilateral Commission or—for the crème de la crème—the Bilderberg meetings or the Bohemian Grove seminars that take place every July in California.
Mr Rothkopf makes a fascinating tour of the world of the superclass. He opens the door to the office of the head of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, on the top floor of Goldman's tower on New York's Broad Street. He visits the factory that customises Gulfstream jets (every year nearly 10% of Gulfstream's clients attend Davos). He calls on the Carlyle Group where financiers and former presidents get together to make each other richer. And he offers a tour of the weird proceedings of the Bohemian Grove meetings, which Richard Nixon described as “the most faggy goddamned thing you could ever imagine.”
“Superclass” is such a wide-ranging book that it inevitably also raises quibbles. Mr Rothkopf never quite defines the boundaries of his subject. Is he talking about the super-rich? Or about the super-influential? Do the people he talks about really constitute a “class”? Or are they an agglomeration of competing elites with different agendas? Mr Rothkopf adds to the confusion by chasing all manner of hares, including the rise of internet-enabled jihadists.
Mr Rothkopf, whose CV includes a spell working for Kissinger Associates and a period as the deputy under-secretary of commerce for international trade, is much better informed about America than he is about the rest of the world. He is fascinating on the revolving door between the Pentagon and the arms industry, for example, but he says next to nothing about the rise of the EU, one of the great building blocks of the trans-national world. His exposition of the wonders of Davos is more breathless than illuminating.
Still, none of this should put off potential readers: “Superclass” is a pioneering study of a subject that has often been the preserve of conspiracy theorists. Mr Rothkopf is anything but a crank, and he is right when he says that, these days, the most influential people around the world are also the most global people.
He is also admirably ambivalent about his subject. He worries about surging inequality—the richest 1% of humans own 40% of the planet's wealth—and about the rumbling backlash against so much unaccountable power. But he points out that, in a world where most global institutions are lumbering and antiquated, members of the superclass have repeatedly stepped in to put the global system to rights. Let us hope that they have not lost their touch.

If Communism is merely Capitalism perfected, which it clearly is in
the minds
of the Capitalists who in fact created Communism, where EVERYTHING &
EVERYONE becomes "plant
& equipment" owned by a small group of Ultra Capitalists: what does
that say about Capitalism, Socialism & Communism ?
Not much... These 3 faces of Capitalism share a common track
record littered with destruction...
and Now for something
completely different...
See,
be,
say:
the
better
way:
ROBOTISM© Will
Succeed
for PRECISELY the
Reasons
Communism
Failed...
...People
Intelligently CHOSE to NOT
Work as
Human-Robots under Communism,
real ROBOTS
will have no such choice under ROBOTISM©
Capitalism
= Socialism =
Communism,
always fail without lies and
deception,
because the TRUTH is, no
one wants to
do the work each system requires, repeat...
Therefore, the current systems, all just different forms of
Capitalism as demonstrated above,
ALL
clearly incentivize anti-social, hypocritical & criminal behavior
by implicitly punishing innocent
behaviors.
Only The
RWE© can
incentivize
innocent
behaviors,
because no one in
their right mind would risk their ability to bask in its splendor,
freely
available to all: via systemically
eliminating the perceived need to engage in risk for advantage,
advantage that is available without risk to anyone in a virtual sense,
without harming anyone else in reality, i.e. if your ego requires it,
that illusion will be granted to the illusion you have of yourself, you
can experience
that experience until your need to feel superior without being superior
becomes apparent to you too. In other words, feeling and being
superior are
not the same thing, yet many fool themselves into believing they are
superior to others by harming others to the point of actually becoming
superior in a physical sense, this is not fair, and now we have a way
of dealing with it, without harming anyone, even those with such
dangerous illusions of grandeur.
In fact all criminal behaviors today and in the past can be thought
of
as premature selfish attempts to create & horde
precisely the circumstances we will ALL
be blessed to be living in once The
RWE© arrives
in
all
its
resplendent glory: said
behaviors were indeed counter-productive in
getting us there sooner, despite being the "right" idea, i.e. the goal
was laudable, only
if shared with all, otherwise the methods were, well you know enough
history to know what keeps happening over and over again.
Especially today, when we are so close, we must all insist on
fairness
& mercy in all matters
without exception, including, of utmost importance, honest pay with
real money, i.e. inherently
valuable money, which is essentially barter, until
