Stimulus

Stimulus to hell

The word 'stimulus' means "Something causing or regarded as causing a response." As a noun it is "An agent, action, or condition that elicits or accelerates a physiological or psychological activity or response."

• "We are product of neither nature nor nurture; we are a product of choice, because there is always a space between stimulus and response. As we wisely exercise our power to choose based on principles, the space will become larger."

Democrats and Republicans have debated what they call a Coronavirus stimulus bill. There have been delays and delays until the last days of the year. Many were voting on it with little grasp of its content or having not seen it at all. There have been delays and delays until the last days of the year.

What stimulates them?

What stimulates us?

What stimulates you and to what end?

I remember other Christmas eve events. I am not talking about the court-martial of Benedict Arnold in 1779 nor Vincent van Gogh cutting off his left ear with a razor, after an argument with Gauguin. I am talking about the US President Woodrow Wilson signing the Federal Reserve Act into law in 1913. That bill and the debt it brought upon the world has been wreaking a subtle but undeniable havoc on the heart and soul of America and the whole world? Americans are still paying for that shift away from capitalism in to a dept economy plus interest that has allowed other bills to be passed and prepared the way for the rise of the welfare state.

Are we seeing another last minute Christmas eve bill that will wreak even more havoc on the heart, mind, and soul of Americans?

Understand

Should we desire $600 or much less $2000 stimulus checks from the GOVERNMENT proposed Coronavirus stimulus bill?

Do you understand that the money is not from the GOVERNMENT nor are your leaders the source of these funds?

The resources from which the value of these funds is human in origin. What you will be receiving is from the sweat and blood of your fellow man.It is your neighbor's labor and it is also from the borrowed future of all our children.

The money so graciously offered by Democrat and Republican is not coming out of their pockets but out of your neighbor's pockets. Politicians and their media throw around numbers like millions, billions, and trillions but all they are doing is increasing an already burdensome and destructive debt that has brought us into a literal economic bondage from which there is no easy escape.

The debt

If America is the richest country in the world why does it have to borrow from the future of your children to send you $600? They do borrow because all the citizen of the United States are surety for that debt that holds them in the bondage of Egypt.

The debt clock is ticking. At 27.5 Trillion dollars that places a debt of $83,260 on every man women and child of the United States. Undoubtedly this will be over 30 trillion by the end of the year with these FDR type stimulus policies.

• "For every dollar that is spent on the (boondoggle) bridge a dollar will be taken away from taxpayers. If the bridge costs $1,000,000 the taxpayers will lose $1,000, 000. They will have that much taken away from them which they would otherwise have spent on the things they needed most." Henry Hazlitt, Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest & Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics

If you get your check you may have a merry Christmas but it may not be a happy New Year.

Pease or safety

There are some economists and politicians who claim they are concerned because of two new factors that previously seem to allow the U.S. debt to grow in Peace and safety but are now being withdrawn.

• First, the Social Security Fund took in more revenue through payroll taxes leveraged on baby boomers than it needed.
• Second, many of the foreign holders of U.S. debt are investing less in American debt. This lessening of demand and the lowering of desirability puts inflation pressure on the dollar. Foreign note holders getting paid back in devalued currency furthering a decrease in demand feeds the cycle of decline to destruction.

Those two factors do not stand alone for there are numerous fundamental problems ingrained in our hearts and minds that go back decades and even centuries.

Banking on it

Some will blame the banks and the bankers' bank, the Federal Reserve, who are certainly not without their part in the problems we see today.

The words of Sir Josiah Stamp who was the President of the Bank of England in the 1920’s and one of the richest men in England even stated it clearly that, “Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of Bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits.”

But is banking the root of the problem or merely a symptom that is one of many product of an original error that lies with the individuals of society?

There seems to be no practical alternative to banking as we know it in our time and if there was could we get to that solution from where we stand and walk today?

It is always easier and less humiliating to blame the problems we often face or fail to face on someone or something else rather than look at anything we might be doing, or have done, or possibly even more significant what we have failed to do.

Solutions

If we want real solutions for a healthy and prosperous world, true cure for what ails us today with an abundance of peace then we will need an abundance of truth.

If we humbly take the time to understand that the stimulus money you may get is not from the GOVERNMENT but your neighbor and their children then we should all be able to grasp that these gifts, gratuities and benefits are never bestowed by governments of authority without a price and consequences, which has always included a loss of liberty. Desiring these benefits provided "by way of a rule of force" rather than charity alters society by altering the mind and soul of the individual. In order be cured of this degeneration of the mind of society we must be humble enough to think differently with a renewing of the mind.

Warnings

It is not the "good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" go us to covet anything that is thy neighbor's through rulers who exercise authority one over the other.

Many others warned of the covetous practices of the world from Polybius to John the Baptist and the Prophets and Apostles of Christ himself.

While some today may try to avoid the benefits in order to claim their freedom they do little to become benefactors of society who exercise love and Charity like some nations and people of the past. They remain Slothful and therefore should be under Tribute.

All who preach The Way of Christ know that it is not love to institute the rule of force to obtain benefits or an advantage at our neighbors expense. It is the covetous practice that makes us merchandise and curse children like Peter said. Those benefits are the wages of unrighteousness.

• "Our flesh shrinks from what it dreads and responds to the stimulus of what it desires by a purely reflex action of the nervous system. Our eyelid closes before we are aware that the fly is about to enter our eye."

Christ showed us The Way so that we might be ssaved but the modern Church has failed to teach the people to conform to Christ but instead has lead them to conform to the world and away from the works of righteousness only to become workers of iniquity.

We need to repent of the idea that it is a good thing to apply to governments who exercise authority one over the other as if they are our Benefactors.
