Banks, Corporations and Capitalism; Looking Behind The Scenes And Understanding Truth.

This month’s article at Jordan’s Journal Wellness Counselling will offer some much needed simplification to the terms: bank, corporation and capitalism.  We will also take a look at a real example of a corporation’s inner workings to provide further perspective.  Our ultimate goal will be to gain insight into how a capitalistic society should be run according to our Christian forefathers, who founded our democratic parliamentary systems of government and civil liberties, both within the United States and Canada.  We will also see how these principles apply to true Jewish followers (those who understand and have studied the “Torah”).

In our previous talks beginning last March, we discussed in-depth, the main factors contributing to the impending collapse of the North American economy.  This month we would like to take these subject matters and address them within the context of capitalistic society as a whole.  I would like to add to the proceedings by providing a true example of how one particular corporation operates.  The particular name of the corporation will be withheld.  But before I provide the anecdote, let’s define what a corporation is.

A corporation is quite simply an individual or group of individuals who, by law, is viewed as only one person, with a limited responsibility and liability.  At the same time, it has all the rights of  “life, liberty and property” as a person does. This categorization came about in connection with the upholding of the 14^th amendment after the civil war, which was designed to assist black Americans avoid discrimination. 

Under the pretense of the fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution, many large corporations have been able to escape extended legal liabilities due to the American Judicial System allowing them to be regarded as a single person rather than a group of people.  Corporate lawyers pushed for this application and judges complied.

The intent of upholding the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution was never so that it could be used in the context of corporations.  It was never the fourteenth amendment (or generally any part of the American Constitution or the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms) that is at fault.  It is the fault of the people who make application of it.  I talked about the role of CEO’s within corporations, their followers, banking CEO’s and corrupt politicians in my recent articles.  All of this applies. In the instance of the fourteenth amendment, we had corrupt judges who misused the constitution to the benefit of large corporations by setting a legal precedent after the civil war in the United States.  This gives readers an explanation of what the corporation is in legal terms.  Now let’s look at it in a more simplified, everyday description.

A corporation is a group of individuals who work together for a common goal.   A corporation may have been started by one or two individuals, but once it grows into a larger group, it must be viewed as a “team” effort.   A corporation can be likened to a sports team.  That was the original intent of a corporation.  There may be one team captain and one coach, but there are no other layers of hierarchy.  Everyone plays the game and the coach certainly does not receive more incentive than the players do.  Unfortunately we have moved away from the “team” and instead into “bureaucracy” where there are layers and layers of useless managers, leading right up to the equally useless CEO, all of which are payed much more than the employees who actually do the everyday work. 

Those who are on the cutting edge of the “coaching” and “mentoring” movement within corporate management understand this concept.  They understand that in order for a team to have success it must focus on running the marathon and not the hundred meter dash and it must move away from the concept of  “too many chiefs and not enough Indians” and empower it’s frontline staff.  

A Corporation must treat its people well financially, too. Unfortunately, many large corporate CEO’s pretend to be focused on what will happen in the next fiscal quarter (perhaps they even fool themselves to an extent) and lose sight of anything else.  They say, “we must be mindful of our shareholders”.  This is the smokescreen they use, as they continue to expand their business frontiers by buying out other companies.  When they do this they are often not able to sustain what they already have.    

Once again, large corporations tend to over leverage themselves, buying up all their competitors.  When this takes place it often drives the value of the company down.  Why is this over leveraging a common practice for banking CEO’s and CEO’s in general?  Is it a product of the free market system as we hear mentioned time and time again?  This is not the case, actually.  It is about a total control mentality. It gives CEO’s the sense that they have total control over the market and over individuals.   It gives the CEO and those who aspire to be like them, a sense that they are “masters” and that others are their subjects. 

Because the CEO’s of large corporations make a million dollars per year or more, they can afford to have the company collapse, their fellow teammates (which are really just SLAVES) to be out of work, while they, themselves, walk away and retire in the Caymans or in Switzerland.  Some of them may perhaps run a pro sports team like Formula One.  CEO’s, sports players, so-called “Hollywood Stars” etc, should be salary capped at $200,000/year.  That would quickly put an end to many of the problems in the world today.

The next time we talk about a “greedy corporation”, we should instead be using the terminology “greedy CEO” and put a name on that individual.  We need to stop thinking about the company’s marketing slogan or other mantras repeated by slaves who need to pay their next rent or put food on the table for their children.  What gives “large corporation” their bad reputation?  It is not the hard working frontline employees.  It is the CEO’s of the company, no one else.  It starts at the top.

An example of this attitude from CEO’s is a company that I am aware of that made 91 million dollars in its last fiscal quarter.  It is in a recession proof line of work and makes 40 cents on the dollar at its locations.  Its stock shares are trading quite low relative to their profits only because the greedy CEO’s decided to buy up more of their competition.  The company has two CEO’s and they both make one million dollars/year.  It is not a research and development company and the CEO’s are not “gifted” in some special, they just happen to have started the company (or been a friend or relative of someone who did) and are now the CEO’s.  The two individuals are likely members of Bilderberg Group and the Bohemian Grove. 

An individual in a useless assistant manager position that the company created said to me one day, “if you don’t like large corporations why do you work for one?…  They are the reason why you get to work” My response is that it’s not about the large corporation or it’s team members (whom I happen to like) or the location that I work at, which I also like, it’s about the CEO’s and also those who acquiesce to their agenda.  The CEO’s are greedy slave drivers and many location managers and their assistants want to be just like them… My response is that the CEO’s should be lucky that they own a business in my hometown and that they have me working for them.  They don’t make me, I make them.    

The average frontline workers who do the work for the company only make between forty and sixty thousand dollars/year in this particular context and the CEO’s don’t want to give anyone a raise.   This is quite typical of how millionaire businessmen operate.  When times get a little tougher economically (due mostly to the problems they themselves created) they say, well, we didn’t want to lay you off or withhold raises, but that’s just a product of capitalistic society…

Capitalistic society was never intended to be this way.  Our founding forefathers brought forth a system of free market, “fair capitalism”, or what we would refer to in today’s terms as “socialism”.  Although there are differing interpretations on what socialism constitutes or how it can be implemented, socialism is much different than communism; it’s important to point this out. 

Communism takes away all free market incentive and ultimately places economic control into the hands of a small minority of those who govern.  It is an extremist paradigm and leads to a dictatorship.  The Rothschild bankers who financed its inception in Russia knew this very well.  It was a way to overthrow the Russian Tsar who would not acquiesce to the Rothschild’s agenda of central banking throughout Europe.  Common citizens were fooled into believing it would be a way to offer equality and the Bolshevik revolution was a success.  The end result was Joseph Stalin, who was responsible for the death of forty million people.  Communism offered further corruption, more of the same feudalistic slavery and many more deaths.  This must not be confused with socialism. 

Socialism is an egalitarian paradigm, which offers reward relative to the actual work completed.  It does not preclude that some individuals may receive more reward than others, but it is not disproportionate in an extreme manner.  The main premise, in this case, involves salary capping a person’s wage at 200 thousand/year.  Many Christians and those of Jewish background believe that it’s okay for people to make millions at the expense of others.  This is incorrect ideology. 

I think of church goer Jim Pattison, who is now a billionaire and yet he offered no raises to his union employees who had to go on strike at one of the many businesses he owns, an Extra Foods location in North Vancouver, BC.  His attitude was not biblical (contrary to popular misconception).  Mr. Pattison should spend less time throwing his hands in the air and speaking in so-called “tongues” in accordance with the modern Pentecostal belief he subscribes to and pay closer attention to the weightier doctrines of Christianity.  I will explain this further as we go along.

In North America today, it’s no longer about “left” or “right” because we have seen that the Obama administration continues to cater to CEO’s, banking fraud and wars in the Middle East.  We see that our own B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell has advocated for the Olympic Games (a playground for the economic elite) and giving himself a 54% raise while allowing education, health care, mental health and highway infrastructure to deteriorate.  Prime Minister Stephen Harper is another puppet to the United States and the globalists’ agenda.  He decided to allow “income trusts” to be regulated, so that middle class citizens could not obtain further tax free dividends or profit sharing from those particular stocks. 

North America has moved into a “fascist” state.  It is extreme right wing capitalism involving the “state” or government collaborating with extremist CEO’s.  It involves corrupt politicians, CEO’s and judges.  It is more prevalent in the U.S. so far, but it is alive and well in Canada, also.

The modern corporate and fascist capitalistic attitude is nowhere more prevalent than in the lives of the many members of the Rothschild and Rockefeller banking families.  These families are the two main players in the Illuminati and the United States, Canadian, British, Israeli, German, French and Swiss central banks.  They have been involved in the banking racket for centuries, passing on their twisted agenda of world domination, slavery and death to ensuing family members along the way.  They are the “inventors of banking policy” as we know it.

As I have done from time to time in previous articles, I will reference the Bible (which we can demonstrate is divine rather than human in origin), to discuss how modern capitalism, typical in North America today, is incorrect.

Let’s begin by discussing the what is said in the New Testament about capitalism.  Those who are familiar with the Bible tend to use the analogy from Jesus’ teachings from Matthew Chapter 20:1-16 (and other parts of the New Testament) to justify modern”big business” capitalism.  There, Jesus offers a parable about a business owner who hired individuals to work for him at different hours of the day and at the end of the day offered them all the same pay and how some objected to him doing this.  

There is mention in this parable of the entrepreneur being entitled to pay his employees whatever he wants and it does not have to be the same amount for the same amount of work, it can be arbitrary.  This parable was actually referring to God’s mercy in offering individuals salvation and that it could come at various points in a person’s life.  It was not intended to refer to greedy CEO’s being able to obtain “carte blanche” to treat their employees unfairly.  Furthermore, this parable also mentions that God’s intention is to give MORE than what could be expected because He is GENEROUS.  How many generous CEO’s do we find today?

Throughout the Bible (references too numerable to offer citation) we find an underlying message that we should be merciful towards those who have less than us.  Particularly, we should esteem the widow, the fatherless, the orphan and the poor.  There are references to “making our talents grow” and this can be applied to making money in a free market manner, but the teaching is more about growing SPIRITUALLY in a positive way- not a selfish and self serving way. 

Jesus himself said we cannot serve both God and money.  It is one or the other.  The New Testament teaches that individuals should try to obtain freedom so that the gap between rich and poor, master and slave, can be narrowed.  The union movement, unfortunately, has come into existence to assist in this endeavor.  If affluent CEO’s and those who try to be like them would follow fair practices, unions would not be needed.

Next we will take a look at banks.  What does the Bible tell us about banks? Jesus began his 3 1/2 year ministry by driving out the corrupt moneychangers from the temple.  He ended His ministry by attacking the same thieves…  It was the only time He ever used force to bring His point across (John 2:13-16). 

Many individuals are not aware that the Bible forbids the lending of money at interest.  The Israelites in the Old Testament (in the books of the Torah) were permitted to lend out money at interest only in the context of their enemies the Canaanites (who were sacrificing children to the Deity Moloch).  He allowed the Israelites to charge those people interest on loans so that they could be destroyed.  If there ever seems to be a contradiction in the Bible, it is only so that it is applied to a particular context. 

What am I saying here?  I am stating that banks are a fraud.  Any person or organization that lends out money at an interest rate is committing fraud.  Period.  For those who are interested in seeing if what I say is true, take a look at the following verses which CONDEMN the practices of the bankster moneychangers:  Exodus 22:25, Leviticus 25:37, Deuteronomy 23:19, Psalm 15:15.
