Forming a priest: Joseph Previtali


Forming a priest: Joseph Previtali
June 10th, 2009
By Michael Vick


Priests “called to bear fruit that will last” says seminarian.



Following is the last in a series of three profiles of seminarians to be ordained June 20 at St. Mary's Cathedral to serve as priests in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Catholic San Francisco interviewed by e-mail San Francisco native Joseph Previtali, 26, who is in Rome studying at the Pontifical North American College.



CSF: Describe your experience at St. Anne of the Sunset, where you spent your pastoral year. What is the parish like? What do you think of priests who serve there? What did you do while you were there?



Previtali: My experience during my pastoral year at St. Anne's was one of rich spiritual and pastoral formation and preparation. Fathers (Raymund) Reyes, (Daniel) Nascimento, (John) Cloherty, (Frank) Bagadiong and Msgr. (Juan) Alarcon provided for me wonderful models of priestly service, rooted in a deep and living relationship with the Lord. While I was there, I was engaged in many pastoral activities including serving at Mass, forming the altar servers, teaching adult education, visiting the school, visiting the sick, and immersing myself in the daily life of the parish.



CSF: Tell me about your grandfather, Father Frank Filice. What was it like having a priest for a grandfather? In what ways, if any, did he influence your decision to become a priest?



Previtali: My grandfather is that unique combination of both goodness and greatness found in few men. After receiving his doctorate from Berkeley in biology, he was a professor at the University of San Francisco for 30 years, during which time he was involved in the beginning of the pro-life movement in the Bay Area and the founding of the St. Ignatius Institute. After my grandmother died, he entered the seminary and he was ordained by Archbishop Quinn in 1979. Since then, he has dedicated his life to the priestly ministry radically and totally. He is an incredible example for me of Christian and priestly holiness and he has had a tremendous influence on my life. He has been supportive of me from the beginning of my vocational discernment, always making very clear that it is most important to do the will of God, wherever that may lead.



CSF: You have said that your vocation took hold when "the Lord began to work in marvelous ways" during your first year at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash. What specifically happened in your life at that time that led to your becoming a priest?



Previtali: Simply, I was moved by the grace of Christ to accept Him fully into my life. It was a wonderful gift, which I am continually striving to preserve and maintain as I move toward ordination. My time at Gonzaga was a time of deep personal appropriation of the faith handed on to me by my wonderful parents. During that time, I had the support of a community of Catholic students who were equally committed to the Lord and His Church. This helped me to grow in so many ways that I cannot imagine my life without those four years in Spokane.



CSF: How did you wind up at the Pontifical North American College in Rome?



Previtali: Then-Archbishop (William) Levada kindly invited me to study at the North American College. It has been a great blessing in my life, for which I am grateful to the Lord and to Cardinal Levada and Archbishop Niederauer.



CSF: Tell me about your experience at the college.



Previtali: My time at the North American College has been similar to my time at Gonzaga in that it has occasioned deep growth and maturation in my spiritual, intellectual, and personal life. The College is located on the Janiculum Hill on extra-territorial Vatican property. While the College is an American seminary, our classes are at the international pontifical universities in Rome. I study at the Dominican university, the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, known as the Angelicum. Most of my classes have been in English, but Italian is the general working language of the Church and universities of Rome. I am at the Angelicum because of my great love for St. Thomas Aquinas, whose theology is given pride of place at the university. My professors have been from all over the world.



CSF: Describe your experiences at the Vatican, in Rome and in the rest of Italy.



Previtali: Well, St. Peter's is so close that it is like our parish church. We go there for Mass on days off, for confession or adoration, with friends or by ourselves. It's a wonderful opportunity to be close to Peter and his successor, the pope, whom we see weekly at the Sunday Angelus. Travel is also a large part of human formation at the College, and we are given the opportunity to travel during breaks and on certain designated weekends. I have been particularly fond of traveling to the small medieval towns of Italy, enjoying there the wonderful mix of a culture steeped both with an easy familiarity and venerable historical significance.



CSF: Do you speak Italian? Have you had the opportunity to interact much with locals while at the seminary?



Previtali: Yes and yes. This is a wonderful aspect of life in Rome. It's a great challenge to relate to a new culture but it is deeply formative and mind-expanding.



CSF: When you return home, will it be difficult to adjust to being back in the United States? Do you think you'll miss Rome when you leave?



Previtali: I am sure I will miss Rome dearly, but San Francisco is home. It is very good for home to be home.



CSF: Would you ever consider staying in Rome, or do you want to return full-time to America?



Previtali: My vocation is to be a priest of the Archdiocese of San Francisco and that is very much tied up with the geographical reality of the Archdiocese. So, ordinarily, a priest of the Archdiocese would spend his days working for the salvation of souls in Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties.



CSF: What has been the most difficult adjustment you've had to make in your life since deciding to become a priest?



Previtali: My generation struggles very much with commitment because it is so difficult for us to say "no" to all the other options. I think the renunciation of those good alternative paths has been the greatest struggle.



CSF: What has been your greatest joy since discerning your vocation?



Previtali: The life of a priest is so beautiful because he is constantly dwelling on the eternal things. From his morning meditation and celebration of Holy Mass to his visit to the school to his visit to the hospital or the jail to his meeting with the engaged couple to his pastoral council meeting, he is always seeking to bring others to a deeper communion with Jesus Christ and His Church, so that they may live forever in Heaven. It is a great blessing to be engaged in a work that has such a far-reaching effect: we are called to bear fruit that will last. The marvel of it all is that we have not chosen the Lord, but He has chosen us.

THE EXECUTIVE JUDGMENT AND FINAL CLEANSING


Escape For Your Life




THE EXECUTIVE JUDGMENT AND FINAL CLEANSING


2 Peter 3


Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.


For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

Many have forgotten the reality of the Biblical flood. Even Christians try to explain it away as being merely a parable. Noah, they maintained means rest. Therefore, Noah was to bring rest to the people. The flood is symbolic of Christ washing sin away and we rest with Noah from all work. They made great mention that nowhere does scripture say Noah tried to reason with the people, or called them to come into the ark. God simply washed sin away and all that was left was righteousness.

Now any honest Bible student would see that this fulfills Peter's prophecy that; "For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

It also contradicts Hebrews 13:7 when "by faith, Noah, warned by God about events as yet unseen, respected the warning and built an ark to save his household; by this he condemned the world and became an heir to the righteousness that is accorded with faith."


Noah: "This one will "comfort" us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord has cursed." Gen. 5:29

The word used as "comfort" is "nacham" meaning: give forth sighs, to breathe strongly, be sorry, full of pity, seeking comfort, trying to ease, even has a sense of repentance and avenge.

Noah was one who would sigh and cry for the abominations of his people. This sounds very much like Ezekiel nine to me, where God commissions an investigative judgment before the executive judgment-- for judgment was about to befall upon them.

Ezekiel 9.4-5 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

The message of Noah was a judgment message.

God says, "My Spirit will not always strive with man I will give him 120 years." Gen. 6:3

For 120 years Noah preached the message, calling people to repentance and to come into the ark of safety. But they would not. They hardened their hearts with the deceitfulness of sin. They hardened their hearts in rebellion. Therefore they could not enter the provision God made for their "comfort" -- all Noah's sighing and pitying could not ease their terrible end.

As far as human wisdom could see, the event predicted by Noah was not likely to occur. Rain had never fallen. Why would the God who had created such a beautiful earth destroy it with by a flood. I'm sure if Noah had set up a web page or started preaching today, it would be declared as the ultimate exhibit of paranoia. How could Noah preach such a message if he was resting in the love of God?

It wasn't sins that were drowned, it was people who hardened their hearts and would not listen.

This is no parable-- this is history! As it was in the days of Noah so shall it be in the time of the end. (And so it is)

2 Peter 3.8-9
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

God sends a message of warning before destruction comes. That is His consistent pattern throughout the Bible. Prepare thyself to meet thy God! Get ready — watch and pray, put on the whole armor, resist the devil and draw very close to THY GOD — the ONE WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND EARTH!

Before the destruction of Sodom, God sent a message to Lot, "Escape for your life; look not behind you, do not stay in the plains but escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed." (Gen. 19:17) The same voice of warning was heard by the disciples of Christ before the destruction of Jerusalem: "When you shall see Jerusalem encircled with armies, then know that the desolation of it is near. Then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains." (Luke 21:20,21)

There is to be a coming out, a decided separation from the wicked, an escape for our very lives. As it was in the days of Noah, as it was in the days of Lot; as it was in the days of Jewish Christians in Jerusalem, so it will be in the last days.

2 Cor. 6.17 "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,"

It is very interesting that the message preached from the churches in our day is the VERY OPPOSITE to the message Revelation tells us to preach.

The message we hear now is ecumenicalism — let's join with all other's who profess to be Christians regardless of their beliefs and doctrines. The Bible says "Come out of her, My people that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues." Revelation 18:4

There can be no compromise between God and the world! "You can not serve God and mammon" Matt. 6:24 There must be an active separation from sin or God's people will lose their way and will not hear His voice.

Like the people living in Sodom, the people are dreaming of prosperity and peace and pleasure. "Escape for your life," is the warning from the angels of God. But other voices clamor to drown out the voice of warning. "Don't get excited; there is no cause for alarm: The multitudes cry, "Peace and safety" while Heaven declares that swift destruction is about to come upon the world. The night before the fire fell on Sodom, the citizens rioted in pleasure, they threatened Lot and his visitors demanding sinful pleasure, they scoffed at Lot as he sought to warn his family of the coming doom; but those people died in the flames! That very night the door of mercy was forever closed to the inhabitants of Sodom. God will not always be mocked; "Behold the day of the Lord comes, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it" Isaiah 13:9.

The majority of the people will reject God's mercy, and will be overwhelmed in swift and irretrievable ruin. But those who heed the warning shall dwell "in the secret place of the Most High" and "abide under the shadow of the Almighty." His truth shall be their shield and buckler. Psalm 91

The time has come to prepare to meet God. The call of the Spirit in our heart of hearts must be answered. Everything in the life must be squared by the Spirit with the Word of God, His law and the everlasting gospel.

As radical developments take place in the formation of the Papal New World Order, radical, deep and thorough preparation for what is ahead must be made. All other preparation is in vain if we fail in the spiritual preparation. We must learn to really communicate with our Master and Savior making Him supreme in our lives. There must be time for heart searching, and heart cleansing through the power of Christ's blood.

Come out of her my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues.

2 Peter 3:10-12 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

Luke 21.35-36
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The Bible tells us that after Noah and his family entered the ark and the door was shut, seven days went by before anything unusual happened. The obedient ones inside the ark had to depend upon God's Word — for it seemed the predicted event would not transpire. Outside the inhabitants of the preflood world had their last parties, celebrating the stupidity of this paranoid old man and the deluded family members who locked themselves up in the ark. Silly, foolish people to limit their freedom in such a strange fashion and to think they expected other rational, people to do the same.

The flood did come! Filled with anguish the rioting crowd now began to shriek in anguish. "Oh, for a place of safety! O, had we only listened and obeyed we would now have rest from this dreadful fear."

Soon the party will end! Just like it happened to King Belshazzer, throwing a party while the enemy was at the gates, trusting that even yet all was peace and safety, so the party-pleasure- crazed world lives for self-indulgence imagining itself safe and secure while the greatest of enemies is at the gate and invading every stronghold, and God will soon step in to end it all.

Yes, there is a judgement. The investigative judgment is now in progress. The executive judgement will soon take place.

In light of the seriousness of the times what will we do. How will we choose to live? Soon the verdict will be pronounced — will it be like Belshazzer "You are weighed in the balance and found wanting." Or "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord"

Painting by Robert Temple Ayres
2 Peter 3.13
Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness.

A righteous heaven is only righteous if the inhabitants are righteous. Thus, those who would be citizens there need much more than the legal aspect of forgiving of sins. They need the blood of Christ to cleanse them and the Holy spirit lead them into harmony with God's law. For the will must be united with the Will of Christ, rebellion cannot enter heaven.

2 Peter 3.14
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation;

The Lord is longsuffering:
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Today! Harden not your hearts in rebellion, Today! Harden not your hearts because of the deceitfulness of sin! Today is the day of salvation. Christ is longsuffering, not wanting any of us to perish but that we should all find repentance in Him and be following Him in loving obedience to His commands.

But now Peter gives us an interesting warning.
2 Peter 3:15-18
Even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.

It is Paul's writings today, that are being twisted to mean God no longer has a written standard, a moral code. It is Paul's writings today, that are being twisted to mean grace does away with faithful and steadfast obedience to God's moral law.

Peter points out that Paul has given the true light, but people would wrest it to their own destruction. People would take the precious blood of grace that was to cleanse us from sin and trample it under foot by declaring obedience to God's law is not necessary. (Hebs. 19)

2 Peter 3.18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.



Part One --Peter's Message

A Sign of the Times


Two days ago as I drove by a shopping center a sign caught my attention: It was a movie theater sign or a roadside billboard. I was shocked, yet, not amazed by the title of the movies that I saw from on that billboard from just a quick glance. I wanted to fully read the titles, so I made a turn at the following intersection and pulled into the shopping center parking lot for a closer view.

Here are the titles of the movies currently (then) playing that were on that sign:

  • Transformers are coming June 24


  • Night Museum 2


  • Terminator; Salvation


  • Drag Me To Hell


  • Hangover


  • Land Of The Lost


  • UP

Wow, how descriptive of the state of the world, and the spiritual condition of the majority of its people. I thank God, that He allowed me to see this sign and write down these words so that I could reflect upon their implications, and also to share it with my brethren.

Friends, brethren, we are truly living in the last days of civilization; Our world has completely immersed itself in sin and confusion; It's apparent in the type of entertainment that folks choose to spend their money and time 'enjoying'. It's no secret of the extent of the depravity since the titles are proof of what they represent. Drag Me To Hell? Hangover? Terminator, Salvation?

I see clearly that we are living in "The Land Of The Lost". Thank you, Lord Jesus for offering yourself on behalf of our sins, and giving us a plan of Salvation. We need not be in a drag, lost or hungover on the way to hell; or waste precious time looking for terminators and transformers in night museums (theaters); Instead, we can take your counsel and lay up treasures in Heaven. Thank you.

Arsenio.

Clarification of My Principles


On this occasion in which a racist man (James von Brunn) entered the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. , and killed a security guard; Also, recently the case of the abortion doctor that was shot and killed while he attended church. Now, not only do we have regular terrorists (foreigners, islamists, etc.), now they consider "Domestic Terrorists" those that kill because of their opposition to abortion, homosexuals, or minorities. This is a transcendental enigma; Since a crime is a crime despite who is the target of the violence perpetrated. What is so alarming about this is that the stigma or label can be applied to extremists, fundamentalists, and even consecrated Christians. Finally, all that do not agree with conventional wisdom will be ostracized for being FANATICS. Then, these individuals will be closely scrutinized to prevent them from committing crimes against Society.


"It is better to be strong than to be right", (James von Brunn said in one of his writings on the internet), "unless you would rather die. People hate the good guys".*


I foresee that Internet web sites and Blogs will be monitored more closely because of the recent rash of violence we see before our eyes.

This is why I believe it is imperative that I express what my beliefs are in regards to violence, fire arms, and civil laws.

1.First of all, I'm a pacifist, and I know that Jesus instructed us that we should not assault or injure any human being no matter what the situation may be. Jesus did not teach us to fight, but to love each other, and be meek (harmless):



But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. ......Matthew 5:39.



2.Secondly, I don't own or use fire arms because I rely on God's protection. Also, because neither did my Lord Jesus Christ use them, or encouraged their use though He is the Son of God :



52Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all
they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.


53Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?


55In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against
a thief with swords and staves for to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no hold on me
....Matthew 26: 52, 53, 55.


3.I hope that with this explanation I will make clear and without any equivocations: That I do not believe in the use of violence, or recommend its use as a means to achieve any religious or secular goal.


Jesus instructed us to give to Caesar what is due to Caesar, and to God what is God's:


21They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto
Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are
God's
.....Matthew 22:21.

Conclusion: In other words we should submit ourselves to the authorities, and governments of this world. Except when the authorities or their laws conflict with the will of God; Then we are to follow God's will (passively), and not man's. He will protect us. We are to render respect to those that respect is due, and tribute to whom it is due. Jesus did not ask us to be outlaws or rebels. Instead, that we obey the governments, and its representatives. This is what I long to do, and to do the will of God while awaiting the return of our Savior Jesus Christ.


Currently in the U.S. Congress there are bills, amendments against "Hate Crimes". For example S. 909: Matthew Shepard "Hate Crimes" Prevention legislation; H.R.1913 Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevent...;H.R.45 Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record...; H.R.17 Citizens' Self-Defense Act of 2009;H.R.1388 The Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act; y H.R.1207 Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009. All these amendments to the U.S. Constitution will drastically change civil rights as soon as they are adopted as laws, and will transform us (the Christian faithful to the 10 Commandments and the Testimony of Jesus) in to fanatics. Before the tendencies that I see are fulfilled I wanted to declare my beliefs specifically in regards to the use of fire arms, or the use of violence to subvert the government or its laws.


Finally, I hope that my brethren of The Present Truth understand what is my position, and also the governmental authorities that monitor the internet know what are my fundamental beliefs. I don't believe in violence, and I don't use fire arms; nor do I plan to rebel against any government, or attempt to further my goals by evangelizing by means of violence. This would constitute an abominable error and it's not Biblical; Nor is it the right of any Christian. My role model is the Lord Jesus Christ, and this is who I base my beliefs and convictions on:


36Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence...........John 18:36.



Arsenio.

Philippines only partly free, says Church bishop


Friday, June 12, 2009


Philippines only partly
free, says Church bishop


The Philippines is not completely free because of political turmoil and economic dependency, a high-ranking Roman Catholic official said Thursday in his Independence Day message.

The country ended almost 400 years of Spanish rule on June 12, 1898.

Bishop Deogracias Iñiguez of Caloocan City also cited the incapacity of Filipinos to decide and act on their own.

“Hindi tayo malaya sa pulitika. Patuloy pa din tayong pinahihirapan ng ibang tao. Sa ekonomiya, yung mga gusto natin, hindi natin magawa dahil wala tayong kakayanan. Yung paghawak sa atin ng ibang bansa . . . maraming mga bagay-bagay na siguro dapat talaga tayo magising [We are not politically free. Other people still oppress us. What we want economically, we cannot do anything about it because we do not have the capability. Other countries also control us . . . there are a lot of things that we have to wake from],” he said.

According to him, freedom is a broad concept and Filipinos should define what it means for them.

Iñiguez said he hoped that the country’s celebration of its 111 years of the proclamation of independence would be “really meaningful.”

He added that he also hoped that Filipinos would open their eyes to the political unrest, which should lead to actions that will pave the way for genuine independence.

Jobs in teaching

To highlight the Independence Day celebration, Education Secretary Jesli Lapus also on Thursday announced the availability of some 9,400 new teaching positions and 4,500 emergency employment contracts for 2009.

“Employment generation especially among the ranks of educators is one way of giving honor to the country which has nurtured us,” Lapus said in a statement.

The emergency employment contracts for non-teaching personnel, he added, will be good for July to December 2009.

Lapus, a co-chairman of the National Organizing Committee for the celebration, will officially make the announcement on the teaching vacancies and employment contracts with President Gloria Arroyo in flag-raising and wreath-laying rites at the Rizal Park in Manila.

Program for President

From Rizal Park, President Arroyo is expected to fly to Koronadal City in South Cotabato in Min­danao to lead Independence Day rites there.

After arrival honors for the President in the city, she will lead a flag-raising ceremony assisted by Labor Secretary Marianito Roque, Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro, local officials and representatives of 10 tribal communities.

Gov. Daisy Avance Fuentes of South Cotabato and Mayor Fernando Miguel of Koronadal City will brief Mrs. Arroyo on their comprehensive livelihood and emergency employment program and later award employment certificates or contracts, livelihood grants or checks and scholarships or training vouchers.

From Koronadal, the President will proceed to Sultan Kudarat for project briefing and inspection of the Palembang-Kalamansag road project.

Mrs. Arroyo will fly back to Malacañang at 6 p.m. for the traditional Philippine Independence Day reception and rigodon de honor to be capped by speech and toast by the dean of the diplomatic corps.

Activities in Manila

In Manila’s Rizal Park, there will be entertainment at the Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz with Kalayaan concert featuring Charisse Pempengco and tribute to the late Filipino master rapper Francis Magalona. There will also be job matching and placement, pre-employment documentation services, livelihood assistance services, free calls and legal assistance for overseas Filipino workers.

The National Organizing Committee is composed of the Education, Interior, Labor and Tourism departments; the Office of the President; and the National Historical Institute.

Under this year’s theme—“Kagitingan, Kagalingan at Kasipagan: Tungo sa Tunay na Kalayaan”—job and livelihood fairs will be set up in various locations.

To drum it up, sports activities, film screenings and cultural performances in Metro Manila (National Capital Region) will be open to the public for free.

Honoring veterans

Also in Manila, officials of the city government will mark Independence Day by honoring World War II who fought for the country’s freedom.

Mayor Alfredo Lim and Defense Undersecretary Ernesto Carolina will lead the flag-raising and wreath-laying ceremonies at the Mauseleo de los Veteranos dela Revolucion at the Manila North Cemetery, where many revolutionary heroes rest.

On Wednesday, Lim launched a scholarship program to highlight the celebration of the 8th Filipino-Chinese Friendship Day.

The “Pagharap sa Pangarap” College Scholarship Program involve schools such as Chiang Kai Shek College, Philippine Cultural College, University of the Philippines-Manila, UP-Diliman, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Philippine Normal University and city-run schools Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM) and City College of Manila.

The mayor said the scholarship program “will further deepen the friendship and harmonious relationship between the People’s Republic of China and the Philippines.”

He also thanked the Chinese in the Philippines for spurring economic progress in the country through their businesses.

S.Korea banks need more core capital -FSC official



Thu Jun 11, 2009 10:35pm EDT




SEOUL, June 12 (Reuters) - South Korea's financial watchdog is no longer pushing banks to further raise capital bases, which hit a two-year high at the end of March, but is recommending they boost core tier 1 capital, a senior official said on Friday.

The financial authorities are also looking at adopting supplementary indicators to monitor banks' capital bases, Rhee Chang-yong, vice chairman of the Financial Services Commission, told a teleconference with foreign media.

"We are not talking about a specific level of BIS (Bank for International Settlements) ratios, but advising them to raise tier 1 capital bases," he said, when asked if the watchdog continued to ask for additional capital raising by banks.

South Korean banks have raised 28 trillion won ($22.3 billion) in the past eight months, mostly through issues of subordinated debt and hybrid securities, most of which are not categorised as core capital.

Rhee said global regulators were moving to apply the tangible common equity (TCE) standard and tier 1 capital ratios to gauge banks' capital bases.

"Our stance is that we will step in line with global regulatory bodies. It is not appropriate for us to move ahead of them," he said in reference to a possible adoption of the TCE ratio.

The TCE measure looks at how much common equity is supporting a company excluding intangible assets such as goodwill.

South Korea banks' capital ratio jumped to 12.94 percent at the end of March under the BIS guidelines, the highest level since the first quarter of 2007.

KB Financial Group (105560.KS), the parent company of top domestic bank Kookmin, was seeking to raise $1 billion-$3 billion through a new share sale by around the third quarter, a banking source said last week, which was seen as part of an attempt to buy smaller rival Korea Exchange Bank (004940.KS).

Rhee expected the banking sector's consolidation to happen after the economy and stock markets showed signs of bottoming out, and said the time may not be right for the government to sell stakes in banks such as Woori Finance Holdings (053000.KS) (WF.N). ($1=1253.8 Won)

Folks, this article from the homosexual Washington Blade newspaper is a must-read. Note that pro-homosexual strategists in Washington fear a filibuster of a “stand alone” version of the bill. We’ve included the key portions below. TAKE ACTION: the anti-Christian homosexual lobby group Human Rights Campaign is pushing hard to get “Hate Crimes” passed. Call your U.S. Senators at 202-224-3121 and urge them to oppose S. 909 or any “Hate Crimes” legislation — as an amendment or a stand-alone bill. For more on the dangers of Orwellian “Thought Crimes” laws, go HERE, HERE and a legal analysis of the House version of S. 909 HERE. ____________________________

Excerpted from the Washington Blade:Senate to pass hate crimes bill as amendmentHRC calls for vote before summer’s end

By CHRIS JOHNSON, Washington Blade Jun 8 2009

Senate leadership has decided to pass hate crimes legislation as an amendment to another bill instead of a standalone piece of legislation, according to the Human Rights Campaign.
Trevor Thomas, an HRC spokesperson, told the Blade in a statement Monday that the Senate settled on this method of passage.
“We understand that Senate leadership does not believe a hearing or mark up on the bill is necessary and plans to bring it directly to the floor as an amendment to another moving vehicle,” he said.
The bill passed the House on April 29, 249-175, as a standalone measure. The legislation would allow the U.S. Justice Department to assist in the prosecution of hate crimes committed against LGBT people that result in death or serious injury.
The Blade reported last month that the Senate was debating whether to pass hate crimes legislation as an amendment or as a standalone bill.
Thomas said the Senate determined it would pass the legislation as an amendment because the chamber’s leaders believes that’s “the most efficient way” to send the measure to the president’s desk.
Jim Manley, a spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), said he couldn’t confirm whether the Senate had decided to pass hate crimes legislation as an amendment, but he noted that’s how the Senate passed the legislation in previous sessions….
A Democratic aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the Senate has planned to pass hate crimes legislation as an amendment for some time. He noted that a standalone bill would be open to amendments and the Senate amendment process is much more open than the House’s.
The aide said it was not yet clear what bill the hate crimes legislation would join and that a viable option might not be available before late summer or early fall.
Thomas said HRC was calling on the Senate to pass the legislation before the end of the summer….
HRC is pushing every day for the amendment to come to the floor and believes there’s enough support in Congress to pass the measure as an amendment, Thomas said….
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), the longest-serving openly gay member of Congress, said in an interview with the Blade in May that supporters of hate crimes legislation in the Senate were considering attaching the measure as an amendment to the 2010 defense authorization bill, but House lawmakers were trying to convince the Senate to pass the legislation in another way.
Frank told the Blade on Monday that said he understands the danger of a filibuster in the Senate with a standalone bill and said he’s fine with passing the legislation as an amendment — so long as the amended bill doesn’t deal with defense.
“You get kind of cognitive dissonance where you put [a] liberal amendment on a conservative bill or vice-versa, and you have problems,” he said. “It’s basically a liberal amendment. It shouldn’t go on a conservative bill.”

Silent weapons for quiet wars



An introductory programming manual

Operations Research
Technical Manual
TM-SW7905.1


Welcome Aboard



This publication marks the 25th anniversary of the Third World War, called the "Quiet War", being conducted using subjective biological warfare, fought with "silent weapons".



This book contains an introductory description of this war, its strategies, and its weaponry.


SECURITY


It is patently impossible to discuss social engineering or the automation of a society, i.e., the engineering of social automation systems (silent weapons) on a national or worldwide scale without implying extensive objectives of social control and destruction of human life, i.e., slavery and genocide.



This manual is in itself an analog declaration of intent. Such a writing must be secured from public scrutiny. Otherwise, it might be recognized as a technically formal declaration of domestic war. Furthermore, whenever any person or group of persons in a position of great power and without full knowledge and consent of the public, uses such knowledge and methodologies for economic conquest - it must be understood that a state of domestic warfare exists between said person or group of persons and the public.



The solution of today's problems requires an approach which is ruthlessly candid, with no agonizing over religious, moral or cultural values.



You have qualified for this project because of your ability to look at human society with cold objectivity, and yet analyze and discuss your observations and conclusions with others of similar intellectual capacity without the loss of discretion or humility. Such virtues are exercised in your own best interest. Do not deviate from them.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION


Silent weapon technology has evolved from Operations Research (O.R.), a strategic and tactical methodology developed under the Military Management in England during World War II. The original purpose of Operations Research was to study the strategic and tactical problems of air and land defense with the objective of effective use of limited military resources against foreign enemies (i.e., logistics).



It was soon recognized by those in positions of power that the same methods might be useful for totally controlling a society. But better tools were necessary.



Social engineering (the analysis and automation of a society) requires the correlation of great amounts of constantly changing economic information (data), so a high-speed computerized data-processing system was necessary which could race ahead of the society and predict when society would arrive for capitulation.



Relay computers were to slow, but the electronic computer, invented in 1946 by J. Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly, filled the bill.



The next breakthrough was the development of the simplex method of linear programming in 1947 by the mathematician George B. Dantzig.



Then in 1948, the transistor, invented by J. Bardeen, W.H. Brattain, and W. Shockley, promised great expansion of the computer field by reducing space and power requirements.



With these three inventions under their direction, those in positions of power strongly suspected that it was possible for them to control the whole world with the push of a button.



Immediately, the Rockefeller Foundation got in on the ground floor by making a four-year grant to Harvard College, funding the Harvard Economic Research Project for the study of the structure of the American Economy. One year later, in 1949, The United States Air Force joined in.



In 1952 the grant period terminated, and a high-level meeting of the Elite was held to determine the next phase of social operations research. The Harvard project had been very fruitful, as is borne out by the publication of some of its results in 1953 suggesting the feasibility of economic (social) engineering (*).



Engineered in the last half of the decade of the 1940's, the new Quiet War machine stood, so to speak, in sparkling gold-plated hardware on the showroom floor by 1954.



With the creation of the maser in 1954, the promise of unlocking unlimited sources of fusion atomic energy from the heavy hydrogen in sea water and the consequent availability of u nlimited social power was a possibility only decades away.



The combination was irresistible.



The Quiet War was quietly declared by the International Elite at a meeting held in 1954.



Although the silent weapons system was nearly exposed 13 years later, the evolution of the new weapon-system has never suffered any major setbacks.



This volume marks the 25th anniversary of the beginning of the Quiet War. Already this domestic war has had many victories on many fronts throughout the world.

POLITICAL INTRODUCTION

In 1954 it was well recognized by those in positions of authority that it was only a matter of time, only a few decades, before the general public would be able to grasp and upset the cradle of power, for the very elements of the new silent-weapon tec hnology were as accessible for a public utopia as they were for providing a private utopia.



The issue of primary concern, that of dominance, revolved around the subject of the energy sciences.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENERGY


Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science, theoretically expressed a>economics, is the study of the sources and control of social energy. Bo th are bookkeeping systems: mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.


All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?

In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-called "moral issues" were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.

Consequently, in the interest of future world order, peace, and tranquillity, it was decided to privately wage a quiet war against the American public with an ultimate objective of permanently shifting the natural and social energy (wealth) of the undisciplined and irresponsible many into the hands of the self-disciplined, responsible, and worthy few.

In order to implement this objective, it was necessary to create, secure, and apply new weapons which, as it turned out, were a class of weapons so subtle and sophisticated in their principle of operation and public appearance as to earn for themselves the name "silent weapons".

In conclusion, the objective of economic research, as conducted by the magnates of capital (banking) and the industries of commodities (goods) and services, is the establishment of an economy which is totally predictable and manipulatable.


In order to achieve a totally predictable economy, the low-class elements of society must be brought under total control, i.e., must be housebroken, trained, and assigned a yoke and long-term social duties from a very early age, before they have an opportunity to question the propriety of the matter. In order to achieve such conformity, the lower-class family unit must be disintegrated by a process of increasing preoccupation of the parents and the establishment of government-operated day-care cent ers for the occupationally orphaned children.


The quality of education given to the lower class must be of the poorest sort, so that the moat of ignorance isolating the inferior class from the superior class is and remains incomprehensible to the inferior class. With such an initial handicap, even bright lower class individuals have little if any hope of extricating themselves from their assigned lot in life. This form of slavery is essential to maintain some measure of social order, peace, and tranquillity for the ruling upper class.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DESCRIPTIVE INTRODUCTION OF THE SILENT WEAPON


Everything that is expected from an ordinary weapon is expected from a silent weapon by its creators, but only in its own manner of functioning.

It shoots situations, instead of bullets; propelled by data processing, instead of chemical reaction (explosion); originating from bits of data, instead of grains of gunpowder; from a computer, instead of a gun; operated by a computer programmer, i nstead of a marksman; under the orders of a banking magnate, instead of a military general.

It makes no obvious explosive noises, causes no obvious physical or mental injuries, and does not obviously interfere with anyone's daily social life.


Yet it makes an unmistakable "noise," causes unmistakable physical and mental damage, and unmistakably interferes with the daily social life, i.e., unmistakable to a trained observer, one who knows what to look for.


The public cannot comprehend this weapon, and therefore cannot believe that they are being attacked and subdued by a weapon.

The public might instinctively feel that something is wrong, but that is because of the technical nature of the silent weapon, they cannot express their feeling in a rational way, or handle the problem with intelligence. Therefore, they do not know how to cry for help, and do not know how to associate with others to defend themselves against it.


When a silent weapon is applied gradually, the public adjusts/adapts to its presence and learns to tolerate its encroachment on their lives until the pressure (psychological via economic) becomes too great and they crack up.

Therefore, the silent weapon is a type of biological warfare. It attacks the vitality, options, and mobility of the individuals of a society by knowing, understanding, manipulating, and attacking their sources of natural and social energy, and thei r physical, mental, and emotional strengths and weaknesses.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THEORETICAL INTRODUCTION


Give me control over a nation's currency,
and I care not who makes its laws.

Mayer Amshel Rothschild (1743-1812)


Today's silent weapons technology is an outgrowth of a simple idea discovered, succinctly expressed, and effectively applied by the quoted Mr. Mayer Amschel Rothschild. Mr. Rothschild discovered the missing passive component of economic theory known as economic inductance. He, of course, did not think of his discovery in these 20th-century terms, and, to be sure, mathematical analysis had to wait for the Second Industrial Revolution, the rise of the theory of mechanics and electronics, and finally, the invention of the electronic computer before it could be effectively applied in the control of the world economy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MR. ROTHSCHILD'S ENERGY DISCOVERY


What Mr. Rothschild had discovered was the basic principle of power, influence, and control over people as applied to economics. That principle is "when you assume the appearance of power, people soon give it to you."

Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency or deposit loan accounts had the required appearance of power that could be used to induce people (inductance, with people corresponding to a magnetic field) into surrendering their real wealth in exchang e for a promise of greater wealth (instead of real compensation). They would put up real collateral in exchange for a loan of promissory notes. Mr. Rothschild found that he could issue more notes than he had backing for, so long as he had someone's stock of gold as a persuader to show his customers.

Mr. Rothschild loaned his promissory notes to individual and to governments. These would create overconfidence. Then he would make money scarce, tighten control of the system, and collect the collateral through the obligation of contracts. The cycl e was then repeated. These pressures could be used to ignite a war. Then he would control the availability of currency to determine who would win the war. That government which agreed to give him control of its economic system got his support.

Collection of debts was guaranteed by economic aid to the enemy of the debtor. The profit derived from this economic methodology mad Mr. Rothschild all the more able to expand his wealth. He found that the public greed would allow currency to be pr inted by government order beyond the limits (inflation) of backing in precious metal or the production of goods and services.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

APPARENT CAPITAL AS "PAPER" INDUCTOR


In this structure, credit, presented as a pure element called "currency," has the appearance of capital, but is in effect negative capital. Hence, it has the appearance of service, but is in fact, indebtedness or debt. It is therefore an economic indu ctance instead of an economic capacitance, and if balanced in no other way, will be balanced by the negation of population (war, genocide). The total goods and services represent real capital called the gross national product, and currency may be printed up to this level and still represent economic capacitance; but currency printed beyond this level is subtractive, represents the introduction of economic inductance, and constitutes notes of indebtedness.

War is therefore the balancing of the system by killing the true creditors (the public which we have taught to exchange true value for inflated currency) and falling back on whatever is left of the resources of nature and regeneration of those reso urces.

Mr. Rothschild had discovered that currency gave him the power to rearrange the economic structure to his own advantage, to shift economic inductance to those economic positions which would encourage the greatest economic instability and oscillation.


The final key to economic control had to wait until there was sufficient data and high-speed computing equipment to keep close watch on the economic oscillations created by price shocking and excess paper energy credits - paper inductance/inflation .

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


GENERAL ENERGY CONCEPTS


In the study of energy systems, there always appears three elementary concepts. These are potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy dissipation. And corresponding to these concepts, there are three idealized, essentially pure physical counterparts called passive components.

(1) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of potential energy is associated with a physical property called elasticity or stiffness, and can be represented by a stretched spring. In electronic science, potential energy is stored in a capacitor instead of a spring. This property is called capacitance instead of elasticity or stiffness.
(2) In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of kinetic energy is associated with a physical property called inertia or mass, and can be represented by a mass or a flywheel in motion. In electronic science, kinetic energy is stored in an inductor (in a magnetic field) instead of a mass. This property is called inductance instead of inertia.

(3)In the science of physical mechanics, the phenomenon of energy dissipation is associated with a physical property called friction or resistance, and can be represented by a dashpot or other device which converts energy into heat. In electronic science, dissipation of energy is performed by an element called either a resistor or a conductor, the term "resistor" being the one generally used to describe a more ideal device (e.g., wire) employed to convey electronic energy efficie ntly from one location to another. The property of a resistance or conductor is measured as either resistance or conductance reciprocals.

In economics these three energy concepts are associated with:
Economic Capacitance - Capital (money, stock/inventory, investments in buildings and durables, etc.)
Economic Conductance - Goods (production flow coefficients)
Economic Inductance - Services (the influence of the population of industry on output)

All of the mathematical theory developed in the study of one energy system (e.g., mechanics, electronics, etc.) can be immediately applied in the study of any other energy system (e.g., economics).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BREAKTHROUGH


The aviation field provided the greatest evolution in economic engineering by way of the mathematical theory of shock testing. In this process, a projectile is fired from an airframe on the ground and the impulse of the recoil is monitored by vibratio n transducers connected to the airframe and wired to chart recorders.

By studying the echoes or reflections of the recoil impulse in the airframe, it is possible to discover critical vibrations in the structure of the airframe which either vibrations of the engine or aeolian vibrations of the wings, or a combination of the two, might reinforce resulting in a resonant self-destruction of the airframe in flight as an aircraft. From the standpoint of engineering, this means that the strengths and weakne sses of the structure of the airframe in terms of vibrational energy can be discovered and manipulated.


APPLICATION IN ECONOMICS


To use this method of airframe shock testing in economic engineering, the prices of commodities are shocked, and the public consumer reaction is monitored. The resulting echoes of the economic shock are interpreted theoretically by computers and the psycho-economic structure of the economy is thus discovered. It is by this process that partial differential and difference matrices are discovered that define the family household and mak e possible its evaluation as an economic industry (dissipative consumer structure).


Then the response of the household to future shocks can be predicted and manipulated, and society becomes a well-regulated animal with its reins under the control of a sophisticated computer-regulated social energy bookkeeping system.

Eventually every individual element of the structure comes under computer control through a knowledge of personal preferences, such knowledge guaranteed by computer association of consumer preferences (universal product code, UPC; zebra-striped pricing codes on packages) with identified consumers (identified via association with the use of a credit card and later a permanent "tattooed" body number invisible under normal ambient illumination).


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE ECONOMIC MODEL


The Harvard Economic Research Project (1948-) was an extension of World War II Operations Research. Its purpose was to discover the science of controlling an economy: at first the American economy, and then the world economy. It was felt that with sufficient mathematical foundation and data, it would be nearly as easy to predict and control the trend of an economy as t o predict and control the trajectory of a projectile. Such has proven to be the case. Moreover, the economy has been transformed into a guided missile on target.


The immediate aim of the Harvard project was to discover the economic structure, what forces change that structure, how the behavior of the structure can be predicted, and how it can be manipulated. What was needed was a well-organized knowledge of the mathematical structures and interrelationships of investment, production, distribution, and consumption.


To make a short story of it all, it was discovered that an economy obeyed the same laws as electricity and that all of the mathematical theory and practical and computer know-how developed for the electronic field could be directly applied in the s tudy of economics. This discovery was not openly declared, and its more subtle implications were and are kept a closely guarded secret, for example that in an economic model, human life is measured in dollars, and that the electric spark generated when op ening a switch connected to an active inductor is mathematically analogous to the initiation of war.


The greatest hurdle which theoretical economists faced was the accurate description of the household as an industry. This is a challenge because consumer purchases are a matter of choice which in turn is influenced by income, price, and other economic factors.

This hurdle was cleared in an indirect and statistically approximate way by an application of shock testing to determine the current characteristics, called current technical coefficients, of a household industry

Finally, because problems in theoretical electronics can be translated very easily into problems of theoretical electronics, and the solution translated back again, it follows that only a book of language translation and concept definition needed to be written for economics. The remainder could be gotten from standard works on mathematics and electronics. This makes the publication of books on advanced economics unnecessary, and greatly simplifies project security.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


ECONOMIC SHOCK TESTING

In recent times, the application of Operations Research to the study of the public economy has been obvious for anyone who understands the principles of shock testing.

In the shock testing of an aircraft airframe, the recoil impulse of firing a gun mounted on that airframe causes shock waves in that structure which tell aviation engineers the conditions under which some parts of the airplane or the whole airplane or its wings will start to vibrate or flutter like a guitar string, a flute reed, or a tuning fork, and disintegrate or fall apart in flight.

Economic engineers achieve the same result in studying the behavior of the economy and the consumer public by carefully selecting a staple commodity such as beef, coffee, gasoline, or sugar, and then causing a sudden change or shock in its price or availability, thus kicking everybody's budget and buying habits out of shape.

They then observe the shock waves which result by monitoring the changes in advertising, prices, and sales of that and other commodities.

The objective of such studies is to acquire the know-how to set the public economy into a predictable state of motion or change, even a controlled self-destructive state of motion which will convince the public that certain "expert" people should t ake control of the money system and reestablish security (rather than liberty and justice) for all. When the subject citizens are rendered unable to control their financial affairs, they, of course, become totally enslaved, a source of cheap labor.

Not only the prices of commodities, but also the availability of labor can be used as the means of shock testing. Labor strikes deliver excellent tests shocks to an economy, especially in the critical service areas of trucking (transportation), com munication, public utilities (energy, water, garbage collection), etc.

By shock testing, it is found that there is a direct relationship between the availability of money flowing in an economy and the real psychological outlook and response of masses of people dependent upon that availability.

For example, there is a measurable quantitative relationship between the price of gasoline and the probability that a person would experience a headache, feel a need to watch a violent movie, smoke a cigarette, or go to a tavern for a mug of beer.


It is most interesting that, by observing and measuring the economic models by which the public tries to run from their problems and escape from reality, and by applying the mathematical theory of Operations Research, it is possible to program computers to predict the most probable combination of created events (shocks) which will bring about a complete control and subjugation of the public through a subversion of the public econo my (by shaking the plum tree)...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INDUSTRIAL DIAGRAMS

An ideal industry is defined as a device which receives value from other industries in several forms and converts them into one specific product for sales and distribution to other industries. It has several inputs and one output. What the public norm ally thinks of as one industry is really an industrial complex, where several industries under one roof produce one or more products . . .

THREE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES


Industries fall into three categories or classes by type of output:
Class #1 - Capital (resources)
Class #2 - Goods (commodities or use - dissipative)
Class #3 - Services (action of population


Class #1 industries exist at three levels:
(1) Nature - sources of energy and raw materials.
(2) Government - printing of currency equal to the gross national product (GNP), and extension of currency in excess of GNP.
(3) Banking - loaning of money for interest, and extension (inflation/counterfeiting) of economic value through the deposit loan accounts.

Class #2 industries exist as producers of tangible or consumer (dissipated) products. This sort of activity is usually recognized and labeled by the public as "industry."

Class #3 industries are those which have service rather than a tangible product as their output. These industries are called (1) households, and (2) governments. Their output is human activity of a mechanical sort, and their basis is population.

AGGREGATION

The whole economic system can be represented by a three-industry model if one allows the names of the outputs to be (1) capital, (2) goods, and (3) services. The problem with this representation is that it would not show the influence, say, the textile industry on the ferrous metal industry. This is because both the textile industry and the ferrous metal industry would be contained within a single classification called the "goods industry" and by this process of combining or aggregating these two industries under one system block they would lose their economic individuality.

THE E-MODEL

A national economy consists of simultaneous flows of production, distribution, consumption, and investment. If all of these elements including labor and human functions are assigned a numerical value in like units of measure, say, 1939 dollars, then t his flow can be further represented by a current flow in an electronic circuit, and its behavior can be predicted and manipulated with useful precision.


The three ideal passive energy components of electronics, the capacitor, the resistor, and the inductor correspond to the three ideal passive energy components of economics called the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, respectively .

Economic capacitance represents the storage of capital in one form or another.

Economic conductance represents the level of conductance of materials for the production of goods.

Economic inductance represents the inertia of economic value in motion. This is a population phenomenon known as services.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ECONOMIC INDUCTANCE


An electrical inductor (e.g., a coil or wire) has an electric current as its primary phenomenon and a magnetic field as its secondary phenomenon (inertia). Corresponding to this, an economic inductor has a flow of economic value as its primary phenome non and a population field as its secondary field phenomenon of inertia. When the flow of economic value (e.g., money) diminishes, the human population field collapses in order to keep the economic value (money) flowing (extreme case - war).

This public inertia is a result of consumer buying habits, expected standard of living, etc., and is generally a phenomenon of self-preservation.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INDUCTIVE FACTORS TO CONSIDER


(1) Population

(2) Magnitude of the economic activities of the government

(3) The method of financing these government activities

THE HOUSEHOLD INDUSTRY


The industries of finance (banking), manufacturing, and government, real counterparts of the pure industries of capital, goods, and services, are easily defined because they are generally logically structured. Because of this their processes can be de scribed mathematically and their technical coefficients can be easily deduced. This, however, is not the case with the service industry known as the household industry.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HOUSEHOLD MODELS


The problem which a theoretical economist faces is that the consumer preferences of any household is not easily predictable and the technical coefficients of any one household tend to be a nonlinear, very complex, and variable function of income, prices, etc.

Computer information derived from the use of the universal product code in conjuction with credit-card purchase as an individual household identifier could change this state of affairs, but the U.P.C. method is not yet available on a national or ev en a significant regional scale. To compensate for this data deficiency, an alternate indirect approach of analysis has been adopted known as economic shock testing. This method, widely used in the aircraft manufacturing industry, develops an aggregate statistical sort of data.

Applied to economics, this means that all of the households in one region or in the whole nation are studied as a group or class rather than individually, and the mass behavior rather than the individual behavior is used to discover useful estimate s of the technical coefficients governing the economic structure of the hypothetical single-household industry...

One method of evaluating the technical coefficients of the household industry depends upon shocking the prices of a commodity and noting the changes in the sales of all of the commodities.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMIC AMPLIFIERS


Economic amplifiers are the active components of economic engineering. The basic characteristic of any amplifier (mechanical, electrical, or economic) is that it receives an input control signal and delivers energy from an independent energy source to a specified output terminal in a predictable relationship to that input control signal.

The simplest form of an economic amplifier is a device called advertising.

If a person is spoken to by a T.V. advertiser as if he were a twelve-year-old, then, due to suggestibility, he will, with a certain probability, respond or react to that suggestion with the uncritical response of a twelve-year-old and will reach in to his economic reservoir and deliver its energy to but that product on impulse when he passes it in the store.


An economic amplifier may have several inputs and output. Its response might be instantaneous or delayed. Its circuit symbol might be a rotary switch if its options are exclusive, qualitative, "go" or "no-go", or it might have its parametric input/ output relationships specified by a matrix with internal energy sources represented.


Whatever its form might be, its purpose is to govern the flow of energy from a source to an output sink in direct relationship to an input control signal. For this reason, it is called an active circuit element or component.

Economic Amplifiers fall into classes called strategies, and, in comparison with electronic amplifiers, the specific internal functions of an economic amplifier are called logistical instead of electrical.

Therefore, economic amplifiers not only deliver power gain but also, in effect, are used to cause changes in the economic circuitry.

In the design of an economic amplifier we must have some idea of at least five functions ,which are

(1) the available input signals,
(2) the desired output-control objectives,
(3) the strategic objective,
(4) the available economic power sources,
(5) the logistical options.

The process of defining and evaluating these factors and incorporating the economic amplifier into an economic system has been popularly called game theory.


The design of an economic amplifier begins with a specification of the power level of the output, which can range from personal to national. The second condition is accuracy of response, i.e., how accurately the output action is a function of the i nput commands. High gain combined with strong feedback helps to deliver the required precision.


Most of the error will be in the input data signal. Personal input data tends to be specified, while national input data tends to be statistical.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AMPLIFICATION ENERGY SOURCES

The next step in the process of designing an economic amplifier is discovering the energy sources. The energy sources which support any primitive economic system are, of course, a supply of raw materials, and the consent of the people to labor and con sequently assume a certain rank, position, level, or class in the social structure, i.e., to provide labor at various levels in the pecking order.

Each class, in guaranteeing its own level of income, controls the class immediately below it, hence preserves the class structure. This provides stability and security, but also government from the top.

As time goes on and communication and education improve, the lower-class elements of the social labor structure become knowledgeable and envious of the good things that the upper-class members have. They also begin to attain a knowledge of energy s ystems and the ability to enforce their rise through the class structure.

This threatens the sovereignty of the elite.

If this rise of the lower classes can be postponed long enough, the elite can achieve energy dominance, and labor by consent no longer will hold a position of an essential energy source.

Until such energy dominance is absolutely established, the consent of people to labor and let others handle their affairs must be taken into consideration, since failure to do so could cause the people to interfere in the final transfer of energy s ources to the control of the elite.


It is essential to recognize that at this time, public consent is still an essential key to the release of energy in the process of economic amplification.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CONSENT, THE PRIMARY VICTORY


A silent weapon system operates upon data obtained from a docile public by legal (but not always lawful) force. Much information is made available to silent weapon systems programmers through the Internal Revenue Service. (See Studies in the Struct ure of the American Economy for an I.R.S. source list.)

This information consists of the enforced delivery of well-organized data contained in federal and state tax forms, collected, assembled, and submitted by slave labor provided by taxpayers and employers.

Furthermore, the number of such forms submitted to the I.R.S. is a useful indicator of public consent, an important factor in strategic decision making. Other data sources are given in the Short List of Inputs.

Consent Coefficients - numerical feedback indicating victory status. Psychological basis: When the government is able to collect tax and seize private property without just compensation, it is an indication that the public is ripe for surrender and is consenting to enslavement and legal encroachment. A good and easily quantified indicator of harvest time is the number of public citizens who pay income tax despite an obvious lack of reciprocal or honest service from the government.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVERSION, THE PRIMARY STRATEGY

Experience has prevent that the simplest method of securing a silent weapon and gaining control of the public is to keep the public undisciplined and ignorant of the basic system principles on the one hand, while keeping them confused, disorganized, a nd distracted with matters of no real importance on the other hand.

This is achieved by:


(1) disengaging their minds; sabotaging their mental activities; providing a low-quality program of public education in mathematics, logic, systems design and economics; and discouraging technical creativity.
(2) engaging their emotions, increasing their self-indulgence and their indulgence in emotional and physical activities, by:

(a) unrelenting emotional affrontations and attacks (mental and emotional rape) by way of constant barrage of sex, violence, and wars in the media - especially the T.V. and the newspapers.
(b) giving them what they desire - in excess - "junk food for thought" - and depriving them of what they really need.
(3) rewriting history and law and subjecting the public to the deviant creation, thus being able to shift their thinking from personal needs to highly fabricated outside priorities.

These preclude their interest in and discovery of the silent weapons of social automation technology.

The general rule is that there is a profit in confusion; the more confusion, the more profit. Therefore, the best approach is to create problems and then offer solutions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DIVERSION SUMMARY


edia: Keep the adult public attention diverted away from the real social issues, and captivated by matters of no real importance.

Schools: Keep the young public ignorant of real mathematics, real economics, real law, and real history.

Entertainment: Keep the public entertainment below a sixth-grade level.

Work: Keep the public busy, busy, busy, with no time to think; back on the farm with the other animals.

LOGISTICS

The successful application of a strategy requires a careful study of inputs, outputs, the strategy connecting the inputs and the outputs, and the available energy sources to fuel the strategy. This study is called logistics.

A logistical problem is studied at the elementary level first, and then levels of greater complexity are studied as a synthesis of elementary factors.

This means that a given system is analyzed, i.e., broken down into its subsystems, and these in turn are analyzed, until by this process, one arrives at the logistical "atom," the individual.

THE ARTIFICIAL WOMB

From the time a person leaves its mother's womb, its every effort is directed towards building, maintaining, and withdrawing into artificial wombs, various sorts of substitute protective devices or shells.


The objective of these artificial wombs is to provide a stable environment for both stable and unstable activity; to provide a shelter for the evolutionary processes of growth and maturity - i.e., survival; to provide security for freedom and to pr ovide defensive protection for offensive activity.

This is equally true of both the general public and the elite. However, there is a definite difference in the way each of these classes go about the solution of problems.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


THE POLITICAL STRUCTURE OF A NATION - DEPENDENCY

The primary reason why the individual citizens of a country create a political structure is a subconscious wish or desire to perpetuate their own dependency relationship of childhood. Simply put, they want a human god to eliminate all risk from their life, pat them on the head, kiss their bruises, put a chicken on every dinner table, clothe their bodies, tuck them into bed at night, and tell them that everything will be alright when they wake up in the morning.

This public demand is incredible, so the human god, the politician, meets incredibility with incredibility by promising the world and delivering nothing. So who is the bigger liar? the public? or the "godfather"?

This public behavior is surrender born of fear, laziness, and expediency. It is the basis of the welfare state as a strategic weapon, useful against a disgusting public.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ACTION/OFFENSE


Most people want to be able to subdue and/or kill other human beings which disturb their daily lives, but they do not want to have to cope with the moral and religious issues which such an overt act on their part might raise. Therefore, they assign th e dirty work to others (including their own children) so as to keep the blood off their hands. They rave about the humane treatment of animals and then sit down to a delicious hamburger from a whitewashed slaughterhouse down the street and out of sight. B ut even more hypocritical, they pay taxes to finance a professional association of hit men collectively called politicians, and then complain about corruption in government.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

RESPONSIBILITY


Again, most people want to be free to do the things (to explore, etc.) but they are afraid to fail.

The fear of failure is manifested in irresponsibility, and especially in delegating those personal responsibilities to others where success is uncertain or carries possible or created liabilities (law) which the person is not prepared to accept. Th ey want authority (root word - "author"), but they will not accept responsibility or liability. So they hire politicians to face reality for them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

The people hire the politicians so that the people can:
(1) obtain security without managing it.
(2) obtain action without thinking about it.
(3) inflict theft, injury, and death upon others without having to contemplate either life or death.
(4) avoid responsibility for their own intentions.
(5) obtain the benefits of reality and science without exerting themselves in the discipline of facing or learning either of these things.

They give the politicians the power to create and manage a war machine:
(1) provide for the survival of the nation/womb.
(2) prevent encroachment of anything upon the nation/womb.
(3) destroy the enemy who threatens the nation/womb.
(4) destroy those citizens of their own country who do not conform for the sake of stability of the nation/womb.



Politicians hold many quasi-military jobs, the lowest being the police which are soldiers, the attorneys and C.P.A.s next who are spies and saboteurs (licensed), and the judges who shout orders and run the closed union military shop for whatever the m arket will bear. The generals are industrialists. The "presidential" level of commander-in-chief is shared by the international bankers. The people know that they have created this farce and financed it with their own taxes (consent), but they would rathe r knuckle under than be the hypocrite.

Thus, a nation becomes divided into two very distinct parts, a docile sub-nation [great silent majority] and a political sub-nation. The political sub-nation remains attached to the docile sub-nation, tolerates it, and leaches its substance until i t grows strong enough to detach itself and then devour its parent.

TIME FLOW RELATIONSHIPS AND SELF-DESTRUCTIVE OSCILLATIONS

An ideal industry may be symbolized electronically in various ways. The simplest way is to represent a demand by a voltage and a supply by a current. When this is done, the relationship between the two becomes what is called an admittance, which can r esult from three economic factors: (1)hindsight flow, (2) present flow, and (3) foresight flow.

Foresight flow is the result of that property of living entities to cause energy (food) to be stored for a period of low energy (e.g., a winter season). It consists of demands made upon an economic system for that period of low energy (winter seaso n).

In a production industry it takes several forms, one of which is known as production stock or inventory. In electronic symbology this specific industry demand (a pure capital industry) is represented by capacitance and the stock or resource is represented by a stored charge. Satisfaction of an industry demand suffers a lag because of the loading effect of inventory priorities.

Present flow ideally involves no delays. It is, so to speak, input today for output today, a "hand to mouth" flow. In electronic symbology, this specific industry demand (a pure us industry) is represented by a conductance which is then a simple ec onomic valve (a dissipative element).

Hindsight flow is known as habit or inertia. In electronics this phenomenon is the characteristic of an inductor (economic analog = a pure service industry) in which a current flow (economic analog = flow of money) creates a magnetic field (economi c analog = active human population) which, if the current (money flow) begins to diminish, collapse (war) to maintain the current (flow of money - energy).


Other large alternatives to war as economic inductors or economic flywheels are an open-ended social welfare program, or an enormous (but fruitful) open-ended space program.


The problem with stabilizing the economic system is that there is too much demand on account of (1) too much greed and (2) too much population.

This creates excessive economic inductance which can only be balanced with economic capacitance (true resources or value - e.g., in goods or services).

The social welfare program is nothing more than an open-ended credit balance system which creates a false capital industry to give nonproductive people a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. This can be useful, however, because the rec ipients become state property in return for the "gift," a standing army for the elite. For he who pays the piper picks the tune.

Those who get hooked on the economic drug, must go to the elite for a fix. In this, the method of introducing large amounts of stabilizing capacitance is by borrowing on the future "credit" of the world. This is a fourth law of motion - onset, and consists of performing an action and leaving the system before the reflected reaction returns to the point of action - a delayed reaction.

The means of surviving the reaction is by changing the system before the reaction can return. By this means, politicians become more popular in their own time and the public pays later. In fact, the measure of such a politician is the delay time.


The same thing is achieved by a government by printing money beyond the limit of the gross national product, and economic process called inflation. This puts a large quantity of mo ney into the hands of the public and maintains a balance against their greed, creates a false self-confidence in them and, for awhile, stays the wolf from the door.

They must eventually resort to war to balance the account, because war ultimately is merely the act of destroying the creditor, and the politicians are the publicly hired hit men that justify the act to keep the responsibility and blood off the pub lic conscience. (See section on consent factors and social-economic structuring.)

If the people really cared about their fellow man, they would control their appetites (greed, procreation, etc.) so that they would not have to operate on a credit or welfare social system which steals from the worker to satisfy the bum.

Since most of the general public will not exercise restraint, there are only two alternatives to reduce the economic inductance of the system.


(1) Let the populace bludgeon each other to death in war, which will only result in a total destruction of the living earth.


(2) Take control of the world by the use of economic "silent weapons" in a form of "quiet warfare" and reduce the economic inductance of the world to a safe level by a process of benevolent slavery and genocide.


The latter option has been taken as the obviously better option. At this point it should be crystal clear to the reader why absolute secrecy about the silent weapons is necessary. The general public refuses to improve its own mentality and its fait h in its fellow man. It has become a herd of proliferating barbarians, and, so to speak, a blight upon the face of the earth.


They do not care enough about economic science to learn why they have not been able to avoid war despite religious morality, and their religious or self-gratifying refusal to deal with earthly problems renders the solution of the earthly problem un reachable to them.


It is left to those few who are truly willing to think and survive as the fittest to survive, to solve the problem for themselves as the few who really care. Otherwise, exposure of the silent weapon would destroy our only hope of preserving the see d of the future true humanity...
