A little from the beginning of Wall
Street:
based on Robert Warshows Wall
Street, Copenhagen 1933
Originally
there were 13 colonies in America. They were called New England and were colonies
of England. Here they used their own money. There were several, they were
called 'colonial script' and everything went very well. There had been
international disagio-problems, but that could not explain, what was planed to
happen now. When the colonists made their money themselves, they were apple to
control the purchasing power. The English bank managers did not like that, they
wanted to control the monetary-system like they did in England. So they
introduced their monetary system and decreased the amount of money to about one
half. Now the happy living in the colonies was totally changed. Unemployment
and poverty were the result. The rage was turned against the Englishmen and the
War Of Independence started. Two of the leading figures behind this
revolutionary war were the experts of finance Robert Morris and Alexander
Hamilton. The later became Finance Minister under George Washington.
It was not a good idea to try fund the war with England by tax-collecting,
because taxation always hamper people. The French participation was financed
(with Necker as an adviser) by loans too (1,2 billon Frcs). Necker was much
more a clever man of finances than he was a skilled and wise statesman.
For this reason and for another reason the authorities let money-emission do
the work to get the war that was wanted by few. They issued Government Paper
and other instruments of debt of the bearer types. They sold them to ordinary,
good citizens, who bought them for their true money earned by hard working.
They sold paper money via the federal government, the single states and
municipalities. When the war had ended, they also gave some of the paper and a
little real money to the home-coming soldiers. The value of the papers depended
of the possibility of the state to be solvent and of it could/would honour them
to an acceptable course. While the time passed the most did not count on the
paper, so they used it as wallpaper and labels. But with Hamilton as Finance
Minister something was planned to happen. The single states (in America) made
paper money to an amount of 210 mill. and The Union 360 mill. dollars under The
War Of (In)dependence. Then the paper dollard had to fall. In 1779 you could
exhange 38 paper dollars with 1 silver-dollar, the year after 100 and in 1781
some times 1000 paper-dollars for 1 silver dollar. Then they were drawn back,
and for 100 dollars you got 5 dollars of interest-bearing certificates. Only a
little returned, because they had been use practically as mentioned.
The first time the passing of the new law, that was know only by a few,
failed, but in 1790 Thomas Jefferson returned from France, where had been
American ambassador in Paris and adviser for the French revolutionaries. With
his help they succeded as planned in America. Now the law could come to
reality - 14 years after the Declaration Of Independence? The Congressmen
listened to the proposal with deepest surprise, but the speculators that had
planned it from the start did not.
The papers should be honoured to nominal value, and the debt of the single
states should be paid by the federal government too. Now the speculators
hurried out in the country to buy paper quietly from the people who did not
know the law-proposal. Alexander Hamilton wrote til George Washington that
he long ago had learnt that the public opinion was of no value. The money
to buy the paper came from new Government Paper sold to the same people 25
years (one generation) after the war.
In this way the citizens paid the cost of war, and the paid to be ruled in the
future. Wadsworth, who was a member of The Congress for Connecticut,
transmitted the ships to the South States to buy all the paper, they could get.
The rumours told about unjustifiable manoeuvres 'behind the scene'. They were
told so loudly that the New Yorker newspaper Daily Advertiser even calculated,
what the different speculators could foresee to earn, if the law passed
through.
This calculations showed that Robert Morris would pocket $18 mill. (in
the years 1790-1792), Jeremiah Wadsworth $9 mill. and Governor Clinton
$5 mill. Fisher Ames and Christopher Gore were also members of the
syndicate. The enthusiasm was as you will understand on the boiling point in
coffeehouses of Wall Street, where the speculators had their headquarter.
The only thing that was missing was to enclose the admission to the growing
activity in Wall Street. Too much publicity, and too much public participation
could damage the speculation, and do it too uncertain for the participants.
This was not managed 'in the right way' (nearly the same) until after The Civil
War 1861-1865. The War Of Independence should rather have been called the War
Of Dependence instead.

'The Truth..' does not deal with
Denmark or Europe alone. It deals with some of the biggest lies I, and perhaps
you, have been told here on Earth.
I will email to you my html-file with

Puppets are
what most of us have become. Somebody else decide how we shall live our lives.
To get into the pyramid, to act inside and perhaps get higher means that you
must obey. You do not ask too many questions, but you take your part and act
without knowning the end of the play. When you look for explanations, perhaps
you are looking in the false direction all the time. Politics and religions
often make you blind - so the rulers calculate. When you know, rulers and their
masters will respect you for what you are, a real human being. Every lilliput
can use the Danish dynamite: You must not not lie, and when you know the truth
- the opposite to lies - you have to tell the truth. Knowledge, love and
forgiveness shall return the power you lost. Nobody have to be a puppet.
