 - What is power?

 - I give (spare) you your life, you give me what I want.

/thou shall follow the law

- - -

 - What is state?

 - "Physical" representation of power.

/thou shall follow the law

/ The Law
/ - not to rebel (the province is not to rebel);
/ - not to impersonate the authority (the state);
/ - not to disturb your neighbours (the province is not to attack other provinces);
/ - "give the state one tenth of all produced";
/ - "provide 50 horsemen and 100 foot soldiers, fully equipped";

 -  What is market?

 - " non-"Physical" " representation of power.

/thou shall follow the law

/The Law
/ - not to rebel;
(the commercial banks, "the provinces", cannot become central banks)
/ - not to impersonate the authority (the central bank/ the state),
(that is not to counterfeit);
/ - ...

If the state gives a permit to One to move from point A to point B,

then

the bank gives a permit

that

goods, priced as permit says,

to be moved from "point A" to "point B".

-

The terms used about power, state, "money" (banking),
counting and accounting, ...
are intentionally made misleading and are used that way.

-

"Fractional Reserve Banking"

is

a fancy way of saying

"We give (lend) one cat again and again to, let's say, 10 persons."


This is legal.

-

When

The Producers (1967), (2005)

sell

their "cat" (show) 10 times,

that is illegal.

-

Fractional Reserve Banking

is not

good or bad,

but

private monopoly...

oh boy,

that's how the world is turning.

"In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia."
George Orwell

-

Politicians use language to hide their thoughts.


"Political language... is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
George Orwell

In S1, E3, "Predicting Murder",

Camille's mother, the bar owner Catherine Bordey, says something like

"As my father used to say,
if you get the wrong answers, then you are not asking the right questions."

-

A part of not asking the right questions is not using the right terms.

Questions are more important than answers.

The right terms are more important
than
the quality of the questions and answers (right/wrong).

nothing divides as common victory.

Not even Nixon's,
