I reproduced this article here mainly because I hate casinos and not so much for the info on what government is. Though both effect the populace negatively, the casino seems to do so with rapidity at the community level. The funneling of mafia money to the Indians isn't really helping the image of the Indians, who have become like the greedy white man and the devastation to lives is immeasurable. In any event, people need to wake up to their own false hope and the reality that odds are not in their favor when they choose to gamble with a machine that long ago fixed them.

I used to deal blackjack in South Lake Tahoe. It was a good
job – good benefits, really good tips, and I got to live in the beautiful and
clean mountains of Tahoe. But as with everything else in life, once the initial
excitement of a new job is absorbed, and the realization of the reality of what
it is you are actually doing in your job and how it either benefits or harms the
people who are your customers, the whole thing falls apart.
I learned many things in that job… not the least of which
was the application of statistics and the law of averages and odds to take
advantage of the average person who likes to gamble (sheep without a clue). And
unfortunately, I learned that most businesses out there that deal with the
making of money by usury, gambling, and investments are indeed a cancer on
humanity, and are slowly destroying the fabric of our freedom and replacing it
with destitution and debt.
On that note… I’d like to compare our corporate government
and the stock markets to a casino, and see if there is any distinguishable
difference between the two…
I’d like to mention this one thing before I start, since I
think it is relevant to this comparison. The feeling I used to get when i
walked into a casino and layed my money on the table – the anxiety of risk
mixed with the illogical emotional orgasm at the prospects of winning a
fortune – was the same feeling I used to get when I would buy shares in a
stock from a company that really, in hind sight, I knew nothing about. Gambling
is gambling, whether you call it investing or insist is is just a game.
First of all, as we enter into the casino, we have to
exchange our money for chips. Similar to buying a piece of paper (called a
stock certificate) representing the purchasing of a stock, the casino sells
chips in exchange for your hard earned cash, and without hesitation I might
add, considering the prospects of you actually building wealth from those
chips. So in essence, the casino sells you a worthless clay or plastic chip
that represents the value of the money you exchanged for it, knowing that the
only place you can spend that chip (in-house money) is in their casino. As with
a stock certificate, the chip is simply a tool used for gambling – a talisman
which mimics wealth but is actually worthless paper, clay, or plastic that can
be traded and bet for other similar but worthless talismans.
The only way that chip has any value is if you cash it back
in for its monetary equivalent. The same goes for a stock certificate. If a
stock goes down in value, or your chips become less than what you started with,
your losses are only realized when you actually cash these objects in for their
current value. So, the only way you lose money on your gambling (investment) is
to cash in your talisman after it has lost value. Of course no one wants to do
that, and so most of us will hold on to the chips or papers that represent our
money, and watch it slowly dwindle due to forces that are mostly outside of our
control, or from an addiction to this obsurd excitement we get from the thought
of our luck turning around and still reaping huge rewards.
But if that casino goes out of business or declares bankruptcy,
and you are still holding that chip or piece of paper, the casino or company
that these talismans represent have no obligation to pay you the value on their
face. In this way, their value is best defined as “conditionally” worthless –
the condition being that you aren’t educated or knowledgeable enough about how
the casino or the company and the market it trades through works to know when
the right time to trade them back in will be.
And we must remember that when we loose a chip to a hot
dealer or we lose a dollar on a bad stock pick, that dollar doesn’t just get
lost and disappear off of the market and out of the monetary system, and
instead it goes into someone elese’s account. The stock gets lower in value,
and someone behind the scenes gets richer. One dollar lost by you is another
dollar gained by someone else. And by someone else I generally mean the
government, it’s investment owned corporations, and the wealthy elite – who
became wealthy by manipulating the markets into making you lose your wealth in
thier shell game they call “the stock market”.
Now, the casino goes out of its way to entertain, wine, and
dine you so that you will come back for more. It makes sure that there are no
clocks or windows for you to see outside, so that the comprehension of time and
of day and night are virtually non-existent. It places flashy lights, clever
advertising, winning bells, and half naked cocktail waitresses all around you
to add to your distraction. It pumps specific mood altering vibrational sound
and music at low levels to keep you docile and in a trance-like state for the
duration of your stay. And it has complete control over the odds, knowing that
it will always come out financially ahead over most of its gamblers in the long
run.
Does this sound like the government and the stock market to
you? Let’s see…
The government owned television networks keep you
entertained and give you reality shows and “to-be-continued” sitcoms so that
you will continuously come back for more. The television holds you in a trance-like
flash induced state as it pumps specific mood enhancing and mind-altering
programing and sound into your living room. It bombards you with flashing
lights and advertising. The news and financial “entertainment” shows give you
false information about stocks and what is a good investment, similar to the
mth propegated by casinos about your odds of winning against them. Billboards,
radio, and other media outlets purposefully expose you to more than 3000
distracting advertisements a day, wherever you go. Sex is the weapon of choice
in this advertising, and you are sold purely nonsexual products like milk and
coffee by beautiful and scantily clad male and female models and Hollywood
stars. And the very products and services that are being sold to you,
completely distract you from what is really happening…
What is happening?
You are trading in your money for worthless stuff you don’t
need and gambling the rest of your money away investing in the stocks that the
government and its investment owned corporations have complete control over
(the odds are fixed!). The market is manipulated on a constant basis,
completely controlled by the people in power. Think of it this way… if all
Fortune 500 companies are collectively owned through government investments by
the over 174,000 individual governments around the United States (collectively
as one conglomerate individual government body – The U.S. government
corporation) then it is natural and logical to assume that the value of these
corporations on the open market are also in the control of the government who
owns and reinvests in their majority shares as well as the monetary system that
they thrive in. The price of Haliburton stock, for instance, goes up when the
government “invests” in the destruction of the once beautiful country of Iraq.
Nation building and re-building is huge business. And market shares soar when
that corporations services are sudenly needed to rebuild the nation that our
corporate government decides to destroy, and awards outragous no bid contracts
to its own investment-owned company.
Translation: nothing happens randomly in the stock market,
and corporations rise and fall (and are repurchased for pennies and
conglomerated) at the whim of our corporate government!
OK, back to the casino…
The games that are provided for us to play in the casinos
are specifically invented to assure that the odds are always in the favor of
the house (the casino). The illusion and legends of being able to beat the
casino are propagated to the extreme to the general public, while the men who
have lost small fortunes – and in the process their businesses, homes,
families, and lives – go unmentioned. (And yes, I saw small fortunes go through
my hands as a dealer, enough to feed a small country. And I couldn’t believe it
when cutomers were still in the same seat 24 hours later with a slumped over,
dazed, exhausted look on thier faces… and yet still the glimmer of hope in
thier eyes.)
And as soon as the money dries up, the casino perks, free
rooms, food, and entertainment dry up as well.
Comparatively, once the sheep-like American investors lose
thier savings and investment wealth in the stock market, thier perks dry up as
well. Many end up homeless on the street, broke and hungary, while the money
they lost is reinvested back into the governments crime syndiccate called the
UNITED STATES.
What are the chances of winning at blackjack?
The “odds” that everyone seems to cling to as they sit on
the losing side of the table go something like this: the house has a slight
advantage (about 54% chance of winning). But these odds are in reality based on
a computer model simulating randomly generated blackjack hands, where a
computer player and a computer dealer play the same way by a specific set of
rules in a perfect uninterupted simulation for millions of hands. Strangely,
these are the odds by which most players play the game. But these odds change
dramatically when other variables are included into the equation. For instance,
new players don’t know the rules, and therefore will play differently than the
computer model and the experienced gamblers. This of course changes the odds,
as more or less cards are played in each individual hand. Interestingly, the
new players often win on thier first blackjack session, simply because they
don’t follow a specific set of rules. They think about thier options, and make
amatur but somewhat educated guesses. And when they don’t follow the advice of
the other players, they often come out ahead. Amusingly, this is refered to as beginers
luck!
As for the “experienced” players, they quite easily fit into
Einstein’s definition of insanity, which states:
“Insanity = doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results.”
And the look of frustration and anger on thier faces as they
blame the dealer and the new player at the table is a good indication that this
is a true description. Loosing is never the gambler’s fault, just as alcoholics
and smokers could quit… if they thought they had a problem, and if they wanted
to!
But the actual “odds” at wining at blackjack are all over
the spectrem of opinion and hope. And the word winning must also be defined
here. The odds at “winning” one hand are different than winning five hands,
which are different than winning ten. The average player plays tens or hundreds
of hands in a single trip, and thousands of hands in his lifetime. So winning
on one gambling trip doesn’t mean that person is ahead on their life totals.
But I guarentee that the last remodel or expansion on your favorite casino was
instituted with part of yours and others total losses!
According to Ion Saliu’s Paradox: random generation
does not generate all possible combination’s, as the odds that a hand will
repeat before all possible hands are dealt are a sure thing. So, to consider
the odds, random generation is not an accurate source. If there are 334,490,044
total possible complete hands in blackjack, and we randomly generate
334,490,044 hands, the statistics show that approximately 63% will be unique
and 37% will be repeats. (http://saliu.com/blackjack.html)
And the point is… if you can show me a person (besides Rain
Man) who can sit down and play that many hands, with no outside influences,
with no burned cards, with no change of dealers or bathroom breaks, with no
dealer mistakes, and with no sleep… then I will except the odds you come up
with.
In other words, whenever you hear someone quote the odds and
tell you the right way to play blackjack, they are talking out of their butt –
which is where you should tell them to stick their advice! Likewise, if you
take advice from a stock broker (who makes money from your wins and your losses
regardless) or from the government (who’s investment owned corporations are on
the other side of your trade, and who wins your losses) you are a fool, and are
playing into the trap of legalized embezzlement through stock market gambling.
In much the same way that you have no way of knowing which
card will come out of the blackjack deck next (52 cards means about a 1:52
chance of guessing, or 1:13 on its numerical value), you have no way of knowing
what planned or seemingly random events will come out of the world economy that
will effect the price index and value of your stock investment. And you have no
way of knowing the plans of the elitist money changers (bankers) who control
these events and can crash the market at any time through planned events like
9/11 – when unprecidented short positions were put on airline stocks just days
before the event (which destroyed the values of airline stocks). The very fact
that shorts, derivatives, and other hedges and gambling bets are allowed to be
made on stocks should be a huge red flag for who controls and influences the
markets.
A “short” is simply placing a bet that a stock will, in a
certain amount of time, go down in value. Who in their right mind would want to
make a bet like this, without some inside information to support the bet? I see
this as no different than being best friends with Don King, and taking his
advice on which boxer to bet on as a K.O. in the third round!
So why would you, as a simple working man or woman with none
of this foreknowledge, gamble on these things called stocks? Probably the same
reason that despite the fact that the odds are totally against you, you
willingly and hopefully lay your money down in that little circle on the
blackjack table, so that a dealer like I used to be can snatch it up with a
look of false surprise, disappointment, empathy and remorse.
The last aspect of this conundrum is this: while you may set
your loss limit at $1000 for your gambling trip, the casino has no such limits.
It has more money in its coffers than most local banks have in their vaults.
Actually, casinos are banks… complete with their own vaults, the highest of
high-tec security, and armed guards that collect the money from each table’s
drop-box two or three times a day. They even make loans, called markers, to high
profile club members whose financial information is on account with the casino.
And you must understand that with an unlimited money supply and the odds
completely in their favor, the casino is always going to win.
Likewise the government, with it’s unlimited amounts of
money – hidden in these investments – has no limit to what it can accomplish to
ensure that the odds are in its favor, and that you are distracted through
entertainment, and unenlightened by purposefully creating one of the worst
education systems in the world. Remember, they can create money anytime they
want to. You cannot. The odds are that eventually you will lose enough of your
wealth by gambling it in their fixed system (the casino-like stock market) to
eliminate any threat you might impose by your insignifigant wealth.
Oh, you’re a millionaire, you say? Well the government has
many multiple trillions. A trillion is a million-million. So the government is
a millionaire of a whole differant sort. Get over yourself, and fast!
And for the final nail in the coffin…?
If you do somehow get ahead and make a scene, the casino
(government) can send in the cleaner – the dealer who can stack the deck and
deal from the bottom of it. In other words, the odds we have talked about in
this essay are not real, for they are manipulatable just like everything else.
And they will never be manipulated in your favor unless you are being set up
for a big loss later.
The moral of this story is simply this: invest your money in
your home, in your family, and in your community. Charity is now a lost
concept, and the thought of giving freely without anything in return has been
killed by corporate greed and usury. Imagine if you will, actually giving
instead of investing, without a tax write-off or of any expectations of
repayment with gains or interest. Imagine building a church, a school, or a
public meeting house without gaining anything but the admiration and love of
the people around you, and in seeing the benefit it gives to them, and in turn
to you. Imagine buying land and putting it into a trust that ensures that it
will be in the peoples control and use, and never usurped by government and its
corporate interests, and for the next thousand years seeing that community come
together and use that land for a community garden to feed everyone in the area.
Reinvestment into the people and communities is the only way
to fix what damage has been done to our once great country.
And seperation of the community churches and real charities
from corporate interests, ownership, and control is a necesary step in this
process.
The power is in the people, despite where the money lies.
But only if we use our power and declare this corporation we call our
government unlawful, unconstitutional, and downright evil.
And, in one last plea for sanity, if I may be so bold… The
only solution I have seen brought forward by any of us to change the country
and the world in a complete and lawful way is through Walter Burien’s “Tax
Retirement Fund” (TRF). We can talk and anylize and discuss till we are blue in
the face, but until this mans efforts are supported, and until Mr. Burien gets
some charity of his own by true patriots who stop reveling in the usury and
gambling in the corrupt and hopeless markets and banking and profitting from
these thieves in government, instead of giving freely and annonomysly, without
expectation or financial attachment to men like Walter Burien, our world will
just go deeper and deeper into this endless spiral of depression and pestulence
through corporate government’s takeover of the world markets and of our very
lives.
