Old Deal
The "New Deal labor and industrial policies did not lift the economy out of the Depression as President Roosevelt and his economic planners had hoped", but its "... policies are an important contributing factor to the persistence of the Great Depression" because it was not until the "abandonment of these policies" that a "strong economic recovery" began.[1] Many criticized the New Deal economic policies, but the effect of social condition might - and the relationship between citizen and government may - be even more damning. There had been a major shift from individualism to collectivism with the dramatic expansion of the welfare state and a corresponding dictatorship through regulation of the economy.
His New Deal was not that new. It was as old as Cain, Nimrod, Pharaoh, and Caesar. But those who do not learn from History are doomed to repeat its errors and fall into the snares of Babylon.
- Lycurgus, according to Plutarch, forbade the use of gold and silver as money. He called in all gold and silver, in order to "defeat greed" but not the greed for power. By producing money called pelanors. which was intrinsically worthless. he took away true individual freedom. What some call obeloi or pelanors were thin rods apparently made of iron which had been weakened by being cooled in a vinegar bath after being turned red-hot.
- Hitler too was more than willing to leave the gold standard behind. The German Federal Reserve had not been idle in their economy. " We had a good reason why we distanced ourselves from the gold standard." Adolf Hitler: Speech of November 8, 1942. Domarus Hitler's words were prophetic concerning World War II when he said: "The gold standard will not emerge victorious from this war." [2] Not only did Hitler oppose gold in the hands of the individual; he knew its absence fed the power of the state to collectivize the labor of the People. “Our opponents have not yet understood our system. We can be easy in our minds on that subject; they’ll have terrible crises once the war is over. During that time, we’ll be building a solid State, proof against crises, and without an ounce of gold behind it. Anyone who sells above the set prices, let him be marched off into a concentration camp ! That’s the bastion of money. There’s no other way. The egoist doesn’t care about the public interest. He fills his pockets, and sneaks off abroad with his foreign currency. One cannot establish a money’s solidity on the good sense of the citizens.”[3] This was the Babylonian bondage of Egypt, the golden calf, Rome, Nimrod and Cain all over again.
Today, in this brave new world, "The masses continue with an appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them by way of a rule of force and violence. The people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others... institute the rule of violence; [4] and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder,[5] until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch." [6] Polybius saw the downfall of the republic a 150 years before the first Emperor of Rome and 175 years before the birth of Jesus Christ and John the Baptist.

- ↑ "But when a new generation arises and the democracy falls into the hands of the grandchildren of its founders, they have become so accustomed to freedom and equality that they no longer value them, and begin to aim at pre-eminence; and it is chiefly those of ample fortune who fall into this error. 6 So when they begin to lust for power and cannot attain it through themselves or their own good qualities, they ruin their estates, tempting and corrupting the people in every possible way. 7 And hence when by their foolish thirst for reputation they have created among the masses an appetite for gifts and the habit of receiving them, democracy in its turn is abolished and changes into a rule of force and violence. 8 For the people, having grown accustomed to feed at the expense of others and to depend for their livelihood on the property of others, as soon as they find a leader who is enterprising but is excluded from the houses of office by his penury, institute the rule of violence; 9 and now uniting their forces massacre, banish, and plunder, until they degenerate again into perfect savages and find once more a master and monarch" Polybius: The Histories (composed at Rome around 130 BC)Fragments of Book VI, p289
