"A false witness that speaketh lies"




(Toward Marunouchi, The Tokyo Station; click to enlarge)



Something Revolutionary


It is said that about 1.56 million American people spent at least one night in an emergency shelter in 2009.

In China, 230 million people moved from farming areas to cities, such as Shanghai, looking for jobs in 2009. Their average monthly wage is about $200.

It is difficult to judge, but a Chinese framer working in a city might be happier than an American homeless.

Yet, those poor people in America and China must have ability to carry out a revolution of a peaceful kind.

It depends on how much they come to think about the God.


SECTION I: No More Central Bank Notes

We have to abolish central bank notes and bills.

We have to allow the Government to print, issue, distribute, and use government notes.

The Government should lend its notes to the Central Bank as the only and last lender to the Central Bank.

The Government should use every means, including laws and new economics as well as super-computers, so as to maintain value of the government notes.

The below presented is an illustration of the circulation of government notes.



As you see, the separation of budget execution from tax collection can be easily achieved.

There is no longer a concept of budget deficits for the government.

However, the central bank should keep a sound balance sheet, since it simply borrows bills and notes from the government.



SECTION II: Stop Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great died far before the era of Caesar, Cleopatran, and Jesus Christ, namely on 10 or 11 June 323 BC (aged 32).

It is believed that the king would have ventured into conquest of Arabia and as far as Iberia, since at the time city Rome had an about 150,000 population but was engaged in a local war while keeping some submissive attitudes toward Alexander the Great.

Conversely, the strongest argument against the poison theory is the fact that twelve days had passed between the start of his illness and his death; in the ancient world, such long-acting poisons were probably not available.
...

The most probable cause of Alexanders death is however, the result of overdosing on medicine made from Hellebore, deadly in large doses. The very few things we do know about his death, can today be explained only with accidental hellebore-poisoning.

From a religious point of view, probably it was time to stop Alexander the Great.

It is so, since the king imitated a god in banquets. He posed as a king in banquets. Though it was not profane at all among ancient Greeks to masquerade as a king in a banquet, Alexander the Great must not have been allowed to diffuse such a habit or a paradigm to the wider world. He was about to be more influential than allowed by History.

In fact, after his death, his-generals-turned kings coined various coins on which Alexander the Great was depicted as a god, such as Ammon.

The next great trend-setter of Greek coinage was that famous Macedonian king, Alexander the Great. Having conquered the Persian Empire – the lands between Greece and India – and become ruler of most of the known world, his coinage became the most desirable currency of all.

But, Alexander’s empire was short-lived and upon his death the empire was split into many smaller kingdoms. Those kings, however, gladly used the image of Alexander, or styled their coins like his, to validate their rule.

These Hellenistic coins were a major break from previous Greek coins. Before the Hellenistic Era, living men were not pictured on coins. That was the domain of gods and heroes and to picture kings on coins was considered hubris. Not so, according to the Hellenistic kings who gladly pictured themselves and their queens as well as their gods on their coins.

Alexander himself had not minted coins with his own portrait in any direct way. His coins showed Heracles, that semi-divine hero closely associated with Alexander himself. Though this was not Alexander, in those parts of the empire where he was regarded as a hero, or even a god, and where his achievements were likened to those of Heracles, it was surely considered an image of the king himself.

After Alexander’s death, of course, his successors had no qualms with minting coins with the deified Alexander's image – then often wearing the horns of the god Zeus-Ammon, whom Alexander had claimed was his father.

Indeed, if you observe more closely the coin, Tetradrachm of Alexander the Great with horns of Ammon on the head, you would think that this tradition should not be relayed to the Roman Empire.

As Alexander the Great dies so mysteriously, Caesar and other Roman dignitaries and emperors of future generations would not rather think to imitate Alexander the Great who loved to pose as a god customarily.

This must have been one of critical conditions for early Christianity to prevail in ancient Rome, though the rise of the holy religions occurred after the death of Jesus Christ who, as a man or the Son of God, refused to be made a king by people.

It is also noteworthy that Jesus Christ was born when ancient Roman citizens had their first king after the era of Caesar and Cleopatra.

Truly, stopping Alexander the Great at the point should be tantamount to stopping Hitler and the like.

The core of economy is not circulation of money.

It is energy of people turning to productive, constructive, and social activities being accompanied by supporters, investors, and clients.

In this context, if you want to acquire a necessary intellectual foundation to understand economy and the world, you must first learn anything valuable academically from American homeless people and Chinese poor farmers working in cities.
