Poverty and the Money Changers

Poverty in Christian nations is fast approaching epidemic proportions, although in many nations, especially in Eastern Europe, it has steadily remained a problem for over 70 years, under communism and later mismanagement by corrupt capitalists. In those countries, unemployment often rises above 20% of the population, industries lie dormant among the concrete ruins of steelworks and factories, and prostitution and extortion by criminal elements is common.

In the west, we have been a bit more fortunate. Our own heavy industries and manufacturing based economies collapsed in the 1930s depression. In the years following, our satanic leaders had three options: collapse and allow the oppressed Christian conservative people to take control, go communist and enforce the economic division through force of arms, or create an elaborate system of pretended value in order to maintain a shell of prosperity.

They chose the third option. The money was printed, and cash was made easier to acquire, but the intrinsic worth of it was close to nil, as it was no longer backed by the labour of the people that created it, but by the empty promises of the governments that they would reimburse investors for their contribution to the system.

As long as the investors believed they had a good chance of continuing to profit, the support for governmental reserve notes was maintained. This system of imagined value was common in biblical times, where taxes and tributes under the Babylonian system that was later introduced to the Roman Empire ensured that the parasitic class of Pharisees and money changers would grow fat on the interest and inflation that they themselves created.

In the 20^th century, this system allowed the governments to create wealth without having the industry to back it up, in effect putting the cart before the horse. By increasing the numbers of service sector jobs and allowing unemployed workers to claim dole money leeched from taxing the moderately well off, the illusion of national wealth was maintained, but at the cost of making a debtor out of every taxpayer.

In actuality, the Babylonian money system had made a slave out of everyone who engaged in commerce, even to the level of grocery shopping. As long as the illusion was maintained, the money was good, and everyone remained complacent.

The problem with this system is, when the moneylenders lose confidence, or the national debt grows too large to handle, the illusion is shattered, and as is happening now, our standard of living begins to fall, prices rise as the value of our money falls, and jobs are lost as cutbacks are made across the board.

The moneylenders do not actually lose out, as inflation and high interest rates increase their own wealth even as everyone else becomes destitute. Even when they do lose out, it is the taxpayer that is the debtor, and so the taxpayer must pay to support those who create the false money system.

This system is in direct conflict with Christianity, as it pits man against his brother in the desperate fight for resources, it breaks families down under the stresses of the loss of wealth, and it encourages secularist pursuit of money in place of God.

The solution to this ruinous cycle of extortion and debt is to support a belief system that opposes this. Jesus’ example in driving out the moneylenders shows us how we must reject this satanic system of usury and interest. In fact, the Israelites were forbidden from paying or claiming interest, even discharging all debts after seven years. This means that the danger of debt was much lower, making wealth a less pressing issue compared with the other things in life. With the rejection of interest, no man was required to pay more than he had originally borrowed, and the opportunity for abuse on the part of the lender was significantly reduced.

In the long run, if we want true economic stability and long term prosperity, we should reject the Babylonian money system in favour of a Christian organisation of our finances.
