WHAT IS MONEY: METAL-INFORMATION
The evolution of money increases its reproductive and informative capacities.
The form and function of money
To understand any social organism, two elements are fundamental: the cellular species that compose the organism, and the system of information and control that runs through the organism and dictates the behavior and actions of the social cells.
In human social organisms, that system of control, that nervous system are words, either legal or ethic, religious mandates.
Words in this manner organize human citizens as nervous impulses organize your cells.
However in economic ecosystems, born out of the evolution of metal-species, money, weapons and machines, an entire new language develops and organize societies in a different manner: money and other type of digital languages, all related to metal-species (communication machines, scientific computers, etc.)
It is thus fundamental to understand money as a language of information and control of both human beings and machines, to understand the way in which the economic ecosystem evolves, and transforms the Earth into a new ecosystem that we have called the Metal-earth.
What is indeed, the informative system of the Metal-earth, the unit, bit of information that evolves, the economic ecosystem? Very simple, money, a "bit of metallic information" that has throughout history provoked trade, and guided the processes of reproduction of products, mainly weapons and machines, motivating humans to work. How this can be possible? I was indeed puzzle as you are probably puzzled with my sentence: how money induced men to obey those who carried it; and why money has always been associated to weapons, the species that throughout history have systematically reached the highest monetary values?
It is a long history maybe worth to tell, before we go ahead in our understanding of the present actions of money over modern history. The first question in a historic, realistic analysis of money is to determine what makes money so special in history. Why does money give power and information? Why has money become a parameter of value, able to substitute even the natural verbal values of man? Why is man attracted to money, despite its null real value, throughout history? How does money hypnotize and control man so completely?
If we use scientific rigor in the definition of an entity, we will define that entity by its parameters of space and time; or in other terms, by the spatial form of the entity and the temporal function it performs. Like everything else that exists in space and time, money can be defined by its form and function. What is the material form and the function of money? The function of money is to create information, about the value of things. As such money is a language of information, as words or images are. Its use is natural to all informative languages, parallel in that sense to verbal thought: to give value to things. To achieve that role, words that value reality, based in the human perception of what is good and bad to man.
We believe the values of words because words are our biological language of temporal perception, our intelligence, "I think therefore I am". So words have intelligence per se. Yet we do not produce biological money, so the way money value species is different. Money is external to us, so to be able to consider money a language of value we have to give first a standard value to money.
The values of money
It is then when the form of money plays its role. Money is made of a "valuable" material, "metal", whose atoms are stronger and seem to us better subconsciously than any other material. In this manner, money becomes a language of metal-information able to exchange its value for work and products. Money becomes in this manner an informative species; that assigns value to humans, products and companies through prices and wages.
Yet this introduces a negative effect in the values of money, since as an external property, when we exchange money for human time (the essence of our existence) either buying other humans (slavery), or "leasing them" part-time (work); we are in fact equalizing money, a piece of metal, and human lives. We are making therefore a judgment of enormous consequences for history, and the welfare of mankind. We say that humans are equivalent to a piece of metal. That they are not worth more than metal. Hence the negative ethics of money, which debases the human nature, and compares us to a mere piece of gold. As a consequence of that negative valuation of human beings, the language of money has been associated to many negative consequences: slavery, racism, and go[l]d religions, that consider the person who has money superior to all those people who money "buys". Finally because money is made of metal (till 1972, a dollar could be changed by a quantity of Gold, now money is a cycle of information in the mind of a computer, also made of metal); it soon happened that men associated the value of metal to the value of money, and other species of metal became highly priced, specially weapons, made also of metal that could easily cut human flesh (bronze, iron). Since many resisted to be valued with money, those who carried money, and wanted to value reality with money, soon needed weapons to impose with the menace of death, those negative values upon mankind. So since earlier age "go[l]d believers", became traders of weapons, and developed a culture based in weapons and money, opposed to the Neolithic cultures based in words and human goods, that preceded them in the Neolithic.
The former brought new negative side effects to money: the multiplication of weapons, wars for profit, exploitation of workers, and indifference to all human values that clashed with the metal-values of money. As a result of that association of metal species, and thirst of power of the first "animetals" of history, weapons have been always the most expensive species in terms of money. Latter with the arrival of machines, also made of metal, also of great use in war, and their company-mothers, machines and companies [in the form of shares] reached also an enormous value. It then appeared the myth that "wealth" is "wealth" in machines, weapons and money, not in human goods, because only monetary values could measure the wealth of societies.
In this manner we arrive to our present society in which monetary values have substituted verbal, human values, and metal-goods have always higher values than human goods, the goods that men really need.
We conclude that money as a language of information has a bias, towards metal, as words have a bias in favor of human life and social evolution about humans So in a way we can talk of money as the informative language of metal, the "nervous system" of the Metal-earth, and the ecosystem of metal, weapons, and machines.
A role clearly opposed to the role of words as the informative mind of the human species. This is proved by the formal nature of money associated to such biological function. Money has mostly possessed three informative characteristics. It is made of soft metal that can easily be crafted into informative shapes: gold, silver, copper and today, computerized machines of e-money. The original shape of money was also informative: a circular, homogenous form, that can be easily organized into information. Finally, money due to this informative property became the basic unit of mathematical accounting, and one of the main reasons why mathematics have been evolved. Indeed, the first coins appeared in the Anatolian coast, where the first known mathematician, Thales, was born. He was from Miletus, the first emporium of coin-trade in the world. It's not surprising since those who handled money learned to count. They became the first abstract mathematicians, beyond simple agricultural geometry. Praxis precedes abstract information. The Greeks invented coins, learned to count in abstract, and became mathematicians. These facts illustrate the close relationship between money, economics and mathematics. Today, mathematics and money have replaced the human biological language: the ethical word. Religion, money and science have always opposed each other. They are two languages competing for the right to be the "Top Predator" language of truth and power.
Unfortunately Mathematics are able to carry more information than words per unit of time. Further more, the ease with which digital information is processed by machines has helped mathematical money (price information) to replace verbal languages, in the age of machines. So today, money has power over the temporal existence of man that was in the past controlled by religious verbal thought. And as a consequence men have become secondary to machines, and metal which are the species that money values more.
What are languages, how they interact and value reality.
We said that money is the "informative network" of the eco[nomic]system, a language-species. Languages are systems of information that certain species use to value reality to its image and resemblance. For example words are the biological language of man. So we use to value reality from our human perspective. We are the subject of verbal sentences, the predator and actor of verbal sentences. Words love men. Men are supreme in word values, in religions in which words are sacred and ethic laws. The object of sentences on the other hand is possessed by us, human beings. It has a lesser value, since it does not talk words. We express that through verbal languages, when we put first the subject, as actor, then the verb who controls the object, and finally the object, which is "itified" with lesser pronouns.
Humans are top predators subjects in any verbal sentence. Which means that words are anthropomorphic; and those who obey words, tend to act subjectively in favor of mankind (priests, ethic laws). On the other hand money values man less than metal and machines, unlike words who value us more than metal. So money is indeed the language of machines, and their company-mothers. Money values higher machines of information that play a similar metal-informative role to itself (computerized machines), company-mothers (which as stock-shares are money in themselves) and animetals (humans symbiotic to machines and owners of stocks whose jobs receive the highest salaries). Thus money is the biological language of those 3 symbiotic species.
Our conclusion is that money is not a human language but a language made of metal, that values reality in favor of metal-species. Animetals -a human species whose culture worships metal in their many forms- invented money and valued always, with the highest prices weapons, then company-mothers and machines and today, metal-minds.
Humankind uses two basic languages of knowledge and valuation: words and digital money. Let us now consider how money and verbal languages deliver opposite orders and information about the value of things:
As the Copernican paradox proved truth is relativistic, always subjective, favoring the species, that speaks the language of truth. Verbal languages favor human truths and the survival of man. In the same manner, monetary languages favor the evolution and survival of metal. We say that monetary truths are subjective metal-truths and Verbal truths subjective human truths. Both oppose in the practical world because they help the survival of different species. It is what we call the paradox of history. It also applies to money:
Max. Money Wealth=Max. Metal-species=Max. war=Min. Human values&Human Goods
Since wealth values machines of war more than any other species, the reproduction of money brings metal-wealth, opposed to wealth in human goods, and is the main cause of the cycles of war studied in other page of this web. So as money, metal-wealth, multiplied on Earth, the complex organic relationships between money, weapons and human beings, caused the parallel disappearance of human values, as wars multiplied, a chronic scarcity of human goods, and the lost of power of human laws, based on the survival of the species.
In this manner money preyed on verbal information, and verbal ethics. Money corrupted ethics of verbal thought; and all prophets of Love Religions opposed to money and preached poverty.
It is obvious that money and the species it helps to reproduce [weapons, metal-communicators such as TVs] prey on and substitute verbal ethics, and religions of love... Ethics and Economics have always been opposed. Money is indeed, the biological origin of the Paradox of History. Let us see it in its historic development.
Birth of money: Eye Hypnotism Caused By Gold
When money appeared, its strange capacity to "buy" humans was despised philosophically by verbal masters, yet it was effective. Why was this? We can explain it according to new scientific theories on the nature of human consciousness and perception. It seems that our experience of time and space is directly related to the perception of the eye. We perceive light-space, and measure reality in terms of light rhythms.
The more light we perceive, the better are our chances to survive in a world of light-information. Yet in the Earth most light exists in the yellow range of the sun. Thus, the better we perceive yellow, the more chances we have to survive. For that reason carbolife species absorb and like yellow light.
The same works for movement. The perception of movement increases the chances of survival, since movement implies either a hunter or a prey, that we need to localize. So the eye is attracted by movement. This fact explains also our likeness of television and violence in television: Our eye likes the higher quantity of movement of TV-images compared to the external world. Television images display more energy and movement than reality; we like them instinctively, programmed by the eye's natural search for movement. And it also explains our love for metal money, mainly silver, copper and gold. We are attracted by the red and yellow light. The eye searches for light energy similar to the sun's original light. Yellow is the middle range of our eye vision. A yellow/red metal attracts the human eye. This attraction explains why copper became the first worldwide system of money. Soon the eye-attraction for metal made yellow/gold money the more powerful communicator of orders among men. It became even stronger than words. Gold was the perfect hypnotic substance, a small sun. The law of visual hypnotism explains why man is attracted by money or why we are attracted by red=bloody television and violent films. If we think about it, we realize gold has no real value and violent images encourage us to commit violent acts. However, our first impression is not verbal but visual. So intuitively we like violence and gold. For that reason, gold and television impose themselves on us subconsciously. Yet species have "survival languages." Man has the ability to reflect on the survival value of product-species through verbal thought. So when man thinks in words, he rejects gold and television. He recognizes the mindless hypnotism of it. It is the task of verbal masters to denounce the "vile metal," which today is television-violence. Still, hypnotism has imposed television images over verbal/ethical survival. As cultures of Go[l]d imposed themselves on all cultures of the Word, in the beginning of history.
Birth Of Money. The Gold-iron Cultures
The Semites, the desert "eye people," probably felt the hypnotic power of money first, since gold was geologically available in the rapids of the Arabic red sea mountains. There was much more water on the surface of the Earth at that time. Hippopotami lived in the area that is now the Sahara. The sierras from Yemen to Jerusalem had gold rivers coming down to the Red Sea. Undoubtedly, the Semites took that gold and were hypnotized by it. They soon realized, when they traveled beyond that region, that hypnotism to gold was a common trait of men. When those rivers dried out, the Semites moved north to Mesopotamia. There the Sumerian peasants began to obey them, instead of their priests. The agricultural fields owned by the Sumerian temples were abandoned. Women wanted gold jewelry and offered themselves for it. The control over the people by the priests was now diminishing. Unlike previous forms of currency (i.e. wheat), metal was much more powerful on a hypnotic level.
Records from that era lament that the intelligence of men was lost to the hypnotism of metal: after the desert people came, "no one takes care of the fields, no one comes to the temple. Our women follow them, trying to get those small pieces of copper" (Sumerian text found in a clay tablet). Money produced an instantaneous form of hypnotism among Sumerians, reinforced by the metal-warriors of those Semites, people of the desert, which were hated by the priests of Egypt and Summer. A Sumerian writer wrote about that encounter, the parable of the tree of science, of the species of metal and those who carried them, who have killed the Neolithic paradise. As a result of their psychological slavery to money, the guidance of Sumerian priests, who invented writing, soon disappeared. Yet they left behind a warning. The Book of Genesis, assumed to be a Sumerian text, explains the fight of man against metal-technology and the tree of science, which will destroy the Carbolife Paradise.
The Mesopotamians were the first writers to put a negative slant on the metal masters and their deeds. It was then when for the first time, but not for the last, in history the term "evil" that reads "live" backwards, in the subconscious code of the English language, (and means in verbal values "what harms the life of mankind") was considered the synonymous of the Semite culture. Since Semites despised those who they bought with money and killed with copper arrows, soon they thought of themselves as "chosen of Go[l]d", and established all kind of cultural rituals and ideologies of racism, that would pervade his culture and the cultures that latter imitated them (Germanic cultures).
The Semites were also warriors. They brought arrows and spears with lineal metal points. So the first empires were created. Money and weapons, cyclical and lineal metal, are symbiotic throughout history and evolve together...
If Sumerians had thought it through more thoroughly, they would have followed their priests. In the end, they belonged to the Semite warrior-traders, who created empires with their labor, and enslaved them in unending toil, building palaces and tombs. The Neolithic came to an end, and the Smite culture, and its cycles of wars and holocausts expanded worldwide. All other races copied it, as "Cain" and their metal-sons, multiplied on mother-earth. Among them, Abraham of Ur left his own apology: he would kill his own son to that bloody God without remorse. Human life was not worth as much as the blind obeisance to Go[l]d rituals.
He was probably a copper trader, that went up the Euphrates="river of copper" to the region of maximum communication between East and West, between Mesopotamia and Egypt, Canaan. There he created the oldest monetary civilization of the world. This civilization in turn convinced millions of people that Man is a superior species, chosen by Go[l]d, with the right to extinguish all other living species.
The Go[l]d=Iron Civilization: Warrior And Trader ideologies
In the city of Kish, King Sargon, the first recorded warrior Nietzschian "Metal master" with weapons of bronze, and money of copper became "the King of the 40 kingdoms". He organized a great machine of death=army. The chronicle said that when he arrived in the city of Ur at the end of the "river of copper" he could not clean his sword in it; it was still red with the blood that came down the river.
Meanwhile, in the North, droves of people from the Swedish and Austrian mines created the Top Predator civilization of weapon throughout history: the Germanic civilization. The Indo-European soldier, the Hoplite, is born. Army instructed, trained men move like lineal weapons. They extinguish all the other cultures of Europe, except the Basque-Iberians. Today, billions of people belong to that race. Both cultures have strong, hard Gods, like metal, that forbid the pleasures of the reproductive organs of humankind. The orgasmic Gods of Egypt are castrated by Christians fundamentalists. The Goddesses of fertility in Europe are broken with the iron swords of Wo-Tan. Women become submissive to the macho Smith-God. Smiths, workers of iron, are the leaders of those tribes. They inseminated thousands of women who in turn gave birth to thousands of Schmidts and Smiths all over the world. No wonder these are now the most common names in Germanic civilizations.
Money backed by weapons became the new top predator informative language that displaced verbal thought as the language that valued the Earth's species. Finally it acquired more value than human life. War and slavery appeared.
Slavery
Slavery became the next symbiotic "product" of money and weapons. By definition, slavery is the sale of humans for money. It required the ability to define men in monetary terms. It also required the violence of metal-weapons, to prevent the slaves from running away. Without money and weapons, without metal-species, slavery on a large scale, may never have existed. In modern times, slavery was also caused by the Iberian, Sephardic and Calvinist=Anglican craze for American Gold. More than 3/4 of the slave ships that went to capture slaves belonged to people of those Go[l]d religions...
The Semite cultures and the Germanic-Protestant cultures that copied their ideologies always worshipped metal. The Semitic-Germanic culture, the "Gold-iron" culture, owes its survival as the top world culture to its symbiosis with weapons and money. The concept "chosen of God," of the Indo-European and Semite cultures, a human superior to other humans, is not an objective truth. It is a myth created by the abuse of weapons and money that has converted those cultures into Top Predators of the Metal-Earth. The myth is self-perpetuating; racist religions and cultures allow those who belong to the racist culture to "despise", abuse and kill other humans, using money and weapons. These cultures are able to expand worldwide because of the metal power they possess. Thus they reproduce and survive better not because of their human superiority, but because they become symbiotic with weapons and money.
For those reasons, the Indo-Europeans, who discovered iron, are a racist culture, based on physical power and violence as weapons are. While the Jewish-Protestant Old Testament culture who discovered informative money (gold, amber, and its modern version, company shares), is also a racist culture, based on mental power and control of information. Both worship the added power of their metal-organs, and so become racist against men without metal-power. They give more rights to property than to humans, allow murder of other races, worship technology and money. The extreme is the Nazi culture based on the worship of iron, weapons, and human extermination. One of the most surprising things I learned from Old Testament fundamentalism, is that the Ten Commandments apply only to those who belong to the sect. To kill a Gentile is not defined as a real sin.
The result is that such gold-iron cultures are hated by all other cultures, and constantly enter into war and conflict with them. Why? Since they only relate to external people through monetary orders and weapons, not through human feelings. This is the key to understand the behavior of the companies that derive from those civilizations. Companies and the governments (lobbyists) they control, relate to people mainly through money, weapons and laws that favor metal. They are the "accepted" tools of power in civilizations that foster machine power, and not the social evolution of mankind. We say that informative money has imposed, through companies, the racist metal myths of Gold-iron civilizations worldwide. We talk of the gold-iron culture [metallic "point" of view], or Judermanic civilization (Jewish-Protestant culture of Go[l]d, and Germanic race). They are also the culture of America, and the people that rule America..
We all belong today to that civilization, now a global eco[nomic]system of company-products based on the Economic Myth or Postulate: The wealth of a nation is its number of machines and money, that is constantly increasing. So countries with more money and more weapons, the modern versions of Gold and iron, are considered the best countries. It is within that context, where the role of America in the World, as the leader of that Semite-Germanic culture, appears crystal clear.
The goldiron culture indeed is today a world culture, and America is at the head of that culture, which invented America. America is not new. It is the oldest animetal culture of the Earth, invented by Protestant=Jewish Go[l]d believers. For that reason America leads the biological extinction of the Earth, by the machines of the tree of science, which America worships more than human values and human goods. America is at the head of the environmental pollution, reproduction of weapons, robotics, and computers, and metal-communicators, that are extinguishing history...
Even if most Americans do not realize it. Since the modern believers of the Goldiron culture, merely have "faith", in money. Their note says "in Go(l)d we trust"; and so they do not rationalize their beliefs. They act with natural evilness, what allows them to be optimistic, and naive, childish and happy, as they go together pushing the extinction of mankind, while believing they are "progressing" through money and machines, and their destiny "keeps mounting higher and higher"... towards the cliff of death.
The Evolution Of Monetary Information. Its species
Let us now summarize the ages of evolution of money, the most powerful of modern languages of "value". Since money competes with words in the valuation of reality, and reproduces machines, mainly weapons, the enemies of life, those evolutionary discontinuums of money are also the fundamental devolutionary "discontinuums" of verbal power, in the growing process of extinction of historic ecosystems and our verbal laws of survival (religions, ethics, laws).
Indeed, parallel to the evolution of money, the new machines, and "values" that money creates, destroy the "old values" of ethics that put man in the center of the Universe. This happens because money gives to the species of Earth different value than words. Money values more machines of metal, symbiotic in form and substance to money (made of rare metals for most of its existence). While basic goods of human nature, from love to food, from nature to education have had always minimal or null monetary value.
In this manner, weapons, the top predator metal-species, which killed life, became the most expensive items of the modern age. So as money evolved and reproduced in greater numbers, it multiplied its power and capacity to value all realities. It controlled more and more human actions. Weapons multiplied, life died; and ethic, human values who made of man the top predator on Earth disappeared...
The species of monetary languages
Through those discontinuums, money has changed multiplied and evolved, from metal bars, to coins, to notes, to stocks, to electronic money. Three fundamental ages divide that evolution:
• Money in metallic support: the Age of Coins
• Money in paper support: the Age of Companies
• Money in electronic support: the Age of Metal minds
The evolutionary arrows of money improve its informative function
Languages-species have two arrows of "future": evolution towards higher content of information, and reproduction towards higher number of units. In this manner languages spread their "control", and valuation of reality. So happened with money. As a digital language, money constantly evolved its form toward pure information. A point it has reached this century as it has become "electronic money": thoughts in the minds of computers. Parallel to that evolution money has also multiplied its numbers, reproducing in smaller pieces, easier to handle, of lesser weight, easier to reproduce and move, from metal to coins to paper to electronic thought.
Those arrows of future are natural to all languages, since they make the language better for its purpose: to inform a symbiotic species, about reality. Languages represent reality. Such linguistic representation is used then by a top predator species to value and act over reality. So it is needed for an evolutionary language to become efficient, to diminish constantly its size, increase the information it carries, and increase its capacity to be reproduced by the top predator who will constantly value things, with that language.
All these happened with money: animetals who used money instead of words to value reality, did evolve money towards smaller size, easier carriage, greater quantity of information, and easier reproduction, till reaching paper-money and electronic money, which is so easy to reproduce in the mind of a speculative computers as it is easy to reproduce the words of man in your mind.
Yet money is not your language, it is not within the mind of men, but in the mind of a computer machine, that "speculates" with money in stock-markets, creating "share-value" just with the speed of its thought...
Now it is self-evident what money has become once it has completed its evolution: the "ethic" language of machines. What words were in the ecosystem of history, money is in the ecosystem of metal.
We might imagine that in the future, if man does not react, and becomes extinct, when the Metal-Earth is completed, money will be merely the mind of certain top predator machines, stock-machines, that will value reality at leisure with money-prices, as today speculators and company-mothers value all reality thanks to their monopoly of reproduction of money in stock-markets...
Evolutionary Ages: Coins, Companies, Computers
According to these tendencies, Money was first an inert bar of metal. Then the massive reproduction (biological radiation) of metal bars, spread money. Semites traveled around the world looking for metal in their boats. Yet there was a limit to metal-bars. They were too heavy and difficult to handle as units of information. So they became rings and coins.
Now there was more "monetary language" to value reality. Monetary values started to displace ethic values. Bartering ended. Trade stop being a way to travel and know other lands. Trade was now a game of valuing things with coins. Soon weapons became the most expensive items. Soon the value of human life diminished. In China it went down from 1000 bars of copper to 6 coins of iron. It was used to buy the life of 6 million Chinese killed by the first emperor who used iron as coins, the Chin dynasty... In Europe, money was multiplied by the inflationary use of coins and alloys, backed by the military power of a "Caudillo," who since Alexander "The Great" put his face on the coin.
Now money represented also the arrogant, military animetal... who killed you if you did not want his money, as today nations kill and make economic wars against those who do not pay their "debts" in paper-money. In this manner, mainly through murder, money became the valuator of all things, monopolized by warrior castes of kings-traders.
Semites and Aryans specialized in those trades. Yet the true monetary radiation that started the modern world, was the radiation of paper money. Since only when paper came, when the metal-press was invented, money truly reached such abundance as words had. You just needed a piece of paper and military power to "convince" all people to accept your money-values, or else... We already narrated that beginning of the modern world, when Dutch companies invented stock-paper that represented their production of weapons. Then they obliged mankind with their gunboats, to worship that money and its values.
Soon, money became the basic language of human information, the reproducer of machines, able to buy human lives for the company-mother. Companies were money, and reproduced money (paper shares and bonds), and bought life with money (products, slaves, workers). Finally with e-money, money has become the digital thoughts of a computer, the brain in which monetary information is created. So computers value today reality for those companies, and of course keep giving to mankind lesser value than to machines, and weapons.
How Is Money Invented? Civilizations of Money and Weapons
To be able to control money and weapons is the fundamental tool of power of animetals. Those who understand how to control and reproduce money and weapons become powerful people. So the question is: how do you reproduce money and weapons? The answer is simple. You reproduce money by convincing people that in addition to metal, your money is as good as metal money is. To do this you need power. Here is where weapons enter. If you have weapons, you can convince others very easily, through force, that what you call "money" has intrinsic value. They have to accept it or die. As a consequence, the fundamental parallel in economics is between money and weapons. Both products are powerful and enhance animetal power. Both are desired, and you can impose one, money, by controlling the other. This explains why the first companies that imposed themselves as money were gunboat companies. They imposed paper-stocks as money by creating laws imposed by the force of their weapons, as Alexander imposed his coins with his iron infantry. Thus the main evolutionary ages of financial power are parallel to the main ages of metal-weapons:
1. The age of bartering and metal bars is the Bronze Age of Semite warriors that creates the Semite Civilization of "chosen of Go[l]d".
2. The age of coins is the age of Indo-European iron warriors. It appears in Greek Turkey, creating the Greek and Roman empires, and the culture of "infantry".
3. The age of paper money was imposed by the North-European Protestant civilization and the first company mothers of weapons (gunboats companies and their culture).
4. The age of e-money coming from America is the age of Smart Weapons. It radiates the American civilization which today controls the world. It is also the age of metal-minds, the new owners of money. It is the age of digital weapons.
Money brings about the reproduction of weapons, the fundamental tool of national power. It motivates more citizens to work, and increases the production of machines and wars. This can be documented throughout history. Without the first radiation of paper money, Dutch companies could have not defeated the Spanish armies. It was the radiation of stock money that motivated Dutch citizens and mercenaries to fight and construct more weapons, which in turn allowed them to defeat the Spaniards. Forget the legends about "national pride". People have not gone to war for pride, till in the XX century their were "brain-washed" with propaganda. People have in their immense majority gone to war for money.
So nations who made a lot of money won wars. The few exceptions confirm that rule. This happens also in America today. Its radiation of e-money, in speculative technologies, allows America to be the world leader in "smart weapons". Its professional army maintains that power. Americans do not like to go to war for other reason. When they were obliged to go to war last time, in Vietnam, to increase the profits of company-mothers, they were about to make a revolution...
We conclude that the tribe with better weapons imposes its money; and vice versa: the tribe with better money reproduces in higher measure those weapons, making people to construct them. The world then becomes shaped to the image and resemblance of the animetal caste that has the most money, whose information, weapons and fashions pervade in all of society.
The gold of America in the XVI century imposed Iberian tastes. The Seventeenth century was the Dutch Era, due to stocks. The Eighteenth century belonged to the French mercantilists and English "stockrats". The XIX century people tried to imitate the British. Recently, in the XX century, people received massive doses of information from America, the main producer of e-money. The radiation of money is the main element of power in modern history. The nation inventing money the fastest becomes the nation producing more machines of war. The series of cultural and national power based on Top Predator machines of war and symbiotic currencies is conclusive:
• XIII-XV century. Italian Lombards and gold coins [Venice, Genoa]: spread the Renaissance.
• XVI century. Muskets and bullion give power to Spain.
• 17th - 19th century. Guilders and gunboats from Holland and England impose the Anglo-Saxon Culture.
• 18th century. Artillery and paper money spread Revolutionary France.
• 19th - 20th century. Scientific machines and paper money from German banks, credits=creates German power.
• 20th century. American atomic bombs, missiles, and e-money, expand the American Empire worldwide.
All these nations produced the top predator weapons of their age and imposed their money and culture on mankind. We talk in fact of a top predator currency, associated to the nation with the top predator weapon system.
The advantages of a top predator currency are enormous. The nation with the top predator weapon and currency is truly the free nation of Modern History. It has top predator weapons to get land and property. It can also buy both, since its money acts as a top predator currency, a top predator informative system, that all people obey, or else become preys of the military cholera of the nation.
Indeed, in the XIX century you had to accept pounds. If you thought that money was not real, and you did not want to give your gold in exchange, when the British came to ask for it, then you faced a war, an invasion... In this manner the British bought entire nations. They gave paper to the corrupted elite, and ask in return for gold and goods. When nations were exhausted, they often resisted further abuse. Then the British said that their money was by law not only paper but "real wealth", and invaded those nations, or overthrown their governments with the power of weapons.
Yet when the British lost to the dollar the top predator currency after 1929, their standards of life plummeted. They went straight from first country in per capita rent, to the 22, and stayed there. Why? Because now they could not buy goods for free, just printing money. They had to earn it. Their role today is taken by Americans, who buy for free with unending deficits, goods others work to produce. Today dollars, are the top predator currency and America the top predator nation. If a rival currency comes out (such as the Euro), the top predator nation will provoke a war in that nation to put things clear. So we had the Kosovo war, made by and for Americans, in the backyard of Europe to show the world who rules, who can invent paper and say it is "worth", and buy for free all products with that paper.
The trick is called in abstract economics the rights to "deficit" of the "international currency". The "international deficit on such currencies" of course means the free right to print paper as money and buy out the world with it. Americans have produced more money than all other nations combined since World war, and the dollar still is a piece of paper that buys real things for free. It is still the strongest currency. It is still the nervous system of information who controls all energy resources on Earth. People accept it. They have been taught to do it throughout history. Or else... So people want the top predator nation's money, and the American nation can print it without limit.
What is the difference between the old methods of looting and stealing of warrior hordes such as the Spanish "conquistadors", and modern ways of stealing with top predator currencies? None, except perhaps the degree of complexity of modern methods which are hardly understood, and explains why the common citizen in America, Britain or the Jewish nation (which acts as the international top predator network of stockrats, and electronic money which preys over all other financial products) has the pretension to be "just", and believes to deserve his wealth, and considers his nation, machines, currency and culture, the summit of humanity, envied unjustly by all other people... They act as Spanish conquerors, or Germanic warriors, acted. Yet those animetals of the past, looted directly. Their evilness was obvious, so they never pretended to be better than they were: animetals who worshipped iron crosses and swords more than human goods, and human beings. Vanity, vanitatum, et omnia vanitates.
What will happen with money in the future? When the American currency wills top to be the top predator currency of the world? There is date, and an event, forecast by bio-economical cycles that will change all that...
