November 2018 quote:  “Society will develop a new kind of servitude which covers the surface of society with a network of complicated rules, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate. It does not tyrannise, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.”  ― Alexis de Tocqueville (1805-1859) – author, Democracy in America

“PROCLAIM LIBERTY THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND

 UNTO ALL THE INHABITANTS THEREOF”

 Leviticus 25:10

……………………..

Leviticus, chapter 25 outlines a divinely inspired plan which “the Lord spake unto Moses” in proclaiming a unique period of Jubile. “And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof” (verse 10).

Debtors – bondmen and bondmaids – were granted liberty from their indebtedness. Property was returned to the rightful owners, and distinct benefits were accorded “the poor, who now were acquitted from all their debts, and restored to their possessions” (Wesley). Leviticus 25:17 sets forth the solemn reminder, “Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the Lord your God.”

Jubile “set bounds both to the insatiable avarice of some, and the foolish prodigality of others, that the former might not wholly and finally swallow up the inheritances of their brethren, and the latter might not be able to undo themselves and their posterity forever, which was a singular privilege of this law and people.” (Wesley)

Jubile provided a fresh start with economic liberties and a societal rebalancing to counter permanent, entrenched class structures.

America now has a dynamic economic acceleration plan that is modeled upon these divine concepts – an economic acceleration plan that largely frees Americans from massive debt burdens, restores economic liberty, and sets America back on course for balanced budgets and long-term financial stability.

The Leviticus 25 Plan – An Economic Acceleration Plan for America

$75,000 per U.S. citizen  –  Leviticus 25 Plan 2018 (2942 downloads)

The Leviticus 25 Plan is a predominate economic acceleration plan with the power to unleash full-scale economic vitality and the supremacy of free market dynamics – by granting U.S. citizens the same direct access to liquidity that was provided to major global financial institutions during the great financial crisis.

The Leviticus 25 Plan grants each U.S. citizen wishing to participate $50,000 in a Family Account (FA) and $25,000 in a Medical Savings Account (MSA). The terms of access are further subject to credit history, job history, credit-influencing events.

Eligible participants agree to give up their tax refunds for a period of five years. They also agree to give up all means-tested welfare, income security benefits, unemployment insurance benefits, workman’s comp benefits and other specified social payments for a period of five years.

The Leviticus 25 Plan restores financial health to American families, re-incentivizes work and industriousness, generates massive tax revenue growth at all levels of government – federal, state, local.

It pays for itself over a period of 15 years.  It generates $1.057 trillion government budget surpluses annually, each of the initial five years following activation.

And it restores economic freedom for all Americans.

The U.S. Health Care Freedom Plan is an integral part of The Leviticus 25 Plan.  It puts U.S. citizens back in control of allocating resources for their month-to-month primary health care needs.  It eliminates burdensome layers of bureaucracy and billions of dollars in administrative red tape and market-dulling inefficiencies.

Every U.S. citizen wishing to participate will receive $25,000 in their Medical Savings Account (MSA) – to be used exclusively for approved medical expenditures (similar to current HSA requirements).

Citizens enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, VA, TRICARE, and FEHB programs would all have a $5,000 deductible annually for five years.  Others enrolled in private insurance plans would have the opportunity to select high-deductible options, with significantly lower premium benefits.

The U.S. Health Care Freedom Plan is also a ‘stand-alone’ health care plan – with the power to eliminate vast quantities of wasteful spending.  It restores the natural efficiencies of a ‘citizen-centered’ health care system.

The time is now – to restore ‘citizen-centered’ health care in America.

F.A. Hayek On “The Great Utopia” | Zero Hedge                    

Excerpts:

The Great Utopia

There can be no doubt that most of those in the democracies who demand a central direction of all economic activity still believe that socialism and individual freedom can be combined. Yet socialism was early recognized by many thinkers as the gravest threat to freedom.

It is rarely remembered now that socialism in its beginnings was frankly authoritarian. It began quite openly as a reaction against the liberalism of the French Revolution. The French writers who laid its foundation had no doubt that their ideas could be put into practice only by a strong dictatorial government. The first of modern planners, Saint-Simon, predicted that those who did not obey his proposed planning boards would be “treated as cattle.”

Nobody saw more clearly than the great political thinker de Tocqueville that democracy stands in an irreconcilable conflict with socialism: “Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom,” he said. “Democracy attaches all possible value to each man,” he said in 1848, “while socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.”

To allay these suspicions and to harness to its cart the strongest of all political motives—the craving for freedom — socialists began increasingly to make use of the promise of a “new freedom.” Socialism was to bring “economic freedom,” without which political freedom was “not worth having.”

[snip]

Individual freedom cannot be reconciled with the supremacy of one single purpose to which the whole of society is permanently subordinated. To a limited extent we ourselves experience this fact in wartime, when subordination of almost everything to the immediate and pressing need is the price at which we preserve our freedom in the long run. The fashionable phrases about doing for the purposes of peace what we have learned.to do for the purposes of war are completely misleading, for it is sensible temporarily to sacrifice freedom in order to make it more secure in the future, but it is quite a different thing to sacrifice liberty permanently in the interests of a planned economy.

To those who have watched the transition from socialism to fascism at close quarters, the connection between the two systems is obvious. The realization of the socialist program means the destruction of freedom. Democratic socialism, the great utopia of the last few generations, is simply not achievable.

This analysis sums up the global Central Bank financial model dynamics that led the world into the Great Financial Crisis of 2007-2012.

Financial Blogger, Matt Taibbi (TAIBBLOG – May 8, 2012):

1. Let banks inflate massive asset bubbles with the aid of cheap or even free government cash, and tons of leverage;
2. Before it all explodes, carve out gigantic sums for bonuses and compensation for the companies that inflated those bubbles;
3. After it explodes, get the various governments to bail those companies out;
4. Pay for it all by slashing services to what’s left of the middle class.

This is the model we used in America. We had a monster asset bubble based on phony mortgages, which Wall Street was allowed to inflate to spectacular dimensions with minimal reserve capital, huge amounts of leverage, and tons of fraud for good measure. When that bubble exploded, we first rescued the banks who inflated the thing in the first place…

Seeking Alpha / Sep 2, 2014  5:55 AM ET – Excerpts

When an article appears in Foreign Affairs, the mouthpiece of the policy-setting Council on Foreign Relations, recommending that the Federal Reserve do a money drop directly on the 99%, you know the central bank must be down to its last bullet.

The September/October issue of Foreign Affairs features an article by Mark Blyth and Eric Lonergan titled “Print Less But Transfer More: Why Central Banks Should Give Money Directly To The People.” It’s the sort of thing normally heard only from money reformers and Social Credit enthusiasts far from the mainstream. What’s going on?

The Fed, it seems, has finally run out of other ammo. It has to taper its quantitative easing program, which is eating up the Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities needed as collateral for the repo market that is the engine of the bankers’ shell game. The Fed’s Zero Interest Rate Policy (ZIRP) has also done serious collateral damage. The banks that get the money just put it in interest-bearing Federal Reserve accounts or buy foreign debt or speculate with it; and the profits go back to the 1%, who park it offshore to avoid taxes. Worse, any increase in the money supply from increased borrowing increases the overall debt burden and compounding finance costs, which are already a major constraint on economic growth.

Meanwhile, the economy continues to teeter on the edge of deflation….

The Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) is headed in the right direction.  However, their proposal does provide the full power needed to eliminate massive quantities of debt, generate government surpluses, and restore economic liberty in America.  The CFR plan also does nothing to free people from the heavy hand of government in controlling and restricting them in managing their daily affairs.

The Leviticus 25 Plan does restore economic liberty in America, and it frees people from oppressive government programs that actually keep them in poverty and servitude.

The Leviticus 25 Plan would effect wide-scale debt elimination at the family level, thereby helping to insulate millions of Americans from potentially devastating effects of another severe economic contraction.

The Plan would eliminate massive government restrictions and control over healthcare, and replace it with individual control  and consumer choice in healthcare access.

The Leviticus 25 Plan would balance the federal budget – immediately, and annually for each of the first five years after enactment.

Currently in the U.S., 114.8 million Americans (~36%) are dependent, in one form or another, on monthly means-tested welfare subsistence.

No one in government – not one single person – has any type of politically viable plan, whatsoever, to break this cycle of government dependency.

Global Central Banks are running a racket… and ripping off citizens, worldwide.

The Swiss National Bank now owns a massive portfolio of U.S. stocks – which currently generates “over $1 billion worth of dividends, or as @SheepleAnalytics notes, “they print money and we ship them our profits.”

U.S. citizens, meanwhile, have to make stock purchases the old-fashioned way – with funds that were gainfully acquired.

The Swiss National Bank Now Owns $87.5 Billion In US Stocks After Q2 Tech Buying Spree

ZeroHedge, Aug 9, 2018 – Excerpts:

In the second quarter of 2018…  another central bank buying spree meant to boost confidence that things are now ba ck to normal, using “money” that was freshly printed out of thin air, and spent to prop up risk assets around the world by recklessly buying stocks with no regard for price or cost.

Nowhere was this more obvious than in the latest, just released 13F from the massive hedge fund known as the “Swiss National Bank.” What it showed is that, just like in the prior quarter, and the quarter before that, and so on, the Swiss central bank went on another aggressive buying spree and following a modest selloff in the first quarter which was a mirror image of the SNB’s buying spree during Q1 2017 – the Swiss central bank boosted its total holdings of US stocks to $87.5 billion, up 6.6% or $5.4 billion from the $82.0 billion at the end of the first quarter, and just shy of their all time high.

On a share basis, the SNB added some 33.659 million shares to its total holdings of US stocks, which at the end of Q2 stood at 1.320 billion.

Some notable observations: in the second quarter, after the SNB printed money out of thing air, it then added 4.85 million shares of AT&T, 673K shares of MSFT, 305K shares of AAPL, 272K shares of FB, 46K shares of AMZN, 423K shares of XOM. And according to some calculations, the SNB’s portfolio now generates over $1 billion worth of dividends, or as @SheepleAnalytics notes, “they print money and we ship them our profits.”

While we are far beyond the point of debating central bank intervention in equity markets (we do want to remind readers that until several years ago, it was considered “fake news” to even mention it, and those who accused central bankers of manipulating stock markets were said to be paranoid tinfoil basement dwellers), we want to point out that unlike the BOJ, which at least keeps its capital markets distortion local, the SNB, which likewise creates money out of thin air (then sells it for dollars in an attempt to keep the Swiss franc depressed) is actively causing substantial price distortions in the US while collecting billions in annual dividends from US corporations which are then remitted to various Swiss cantons and regional governments to fund local growth.

While we doubt this will be investigated with stocks at all time highs, we look forward to the Congressional hearings after the crash when the scapegoating and fingerpointing begins as it always does, and everyone is “stunned” to learn that central banks were responsible for blowing the biggest asset bubble the world has ever seen by directly buying stocks.

What else did the SNB reveal in its 13F? Two main things:

First, its top 20 holdings are as shown in the following chart. The central bank was clearly not shy in adding to its top positions. And more notably: it was most aggressive in adding to tech names, just in case there is still confusion why with the rest of the stock market flat YTD, it was tech names that drove the S&P500 higher.

______________________________

The Swiss National Bank gets to create ‘fake money’ to purchase U.S. stocks – and ‘suck’ over $1 billion in annual dividends out of our markets – to distribute to their own citizenry.

And, U.S. citizens sit on the sidelines and watch.

The U.S. Federal Reserve can take a big step toward leveling the playing field by granting direct liquidity extensions to U.S. citizens, in similar fashion to what they provided as bailouts Wall Street’s financial sector 2007-2010.

The Leviticus 25 Plan is a dynamic economic initiative providing direct liquidity benefits for American families, while at the same time scaling back the role of government in managing and controlling the affairs of citizens.  It is a comprehensive plan with long-term economic and social benefits for citizens and government.

The Leviticus 25 Plan provides the mechanism for a $75,000 credit extension to each U.S. citizen who wishes to participate.

One of the ‘recapture’ provisions for participants in the plan is an agreement to opt out of receiving benefits from ‘Income Security’ social programs. The Earned Income Tax Credit is (EITC) one of those programs.  Payments are currently running at approximately $55 billion / year.

And this Income Security program is riddled with overpayment fraud.

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) program has been “plagued with “improper payments” for years — decades actually (American Thinker – Henry Percy, April 26, 2013).  “The General Accounting Office (GAO) verified the vast scale of the fraud… estimated [to be] between 27 and 32 percent of EITC dollars claimed.’”

The “IRS overpaid Earned Income Tax Credit by at least $110.8 billion” during the years 1999 – 2008, according to a recent Treasury Department inspector general report. Source:  NetRightDaily.com: http://netrightdaily.com/2013/04/irs-overpaid-earned-income-tax-credit-by-at-least-110-8-billion-since-2000/#ixzz2dE6cUTZk

According to an inspector general’s report, at least, 21% of EITC payments in 2012 were “improper” ($11.6 billion), by far the highest fraud rate in any government entitlement program.

…………………… 

The Leviticus 25 Plan would set America on course for getting government out of the business of administering massive fraud-riddled social programs.

During the Great Financial Crisis, the U.S. Federal Reserve was blow-hosing trillions of dollars out to a sinking Wall Street financial sector – to include foreign banks. These were the very Wall Street financial institutions that precipitated the crisis with their financial innovation schemes and high-stakes leveraged speculation gambits.

And… U.S. citizens got left holding the bag.  Millions of citizens lost employment, and millions of families lost their homes to foreclosure.
