A Journey to Defuse 5,000 years of Oppression Begins With a Single Step:
Step 1: Reinstate America's Original
U.S. National Public Bank
To all Americans old enough to speak and still young enough to care:
The current economic model, which has been handed down to you by the past 200 generations of people, is the direct cause of every problem we now face, including the eventual collapse of our ecosystem.
​
Old people are not going to fix this for you; they've already had 200 tries at it. We suggest that the youth of America step around the slower-moving old people and attempt to secure their own future.
​
Everything you need to know about the problem and how to solve it is right here; take five minutes of your time to look at it. You cannot solve a problem if you don't look at it.
The National Public Bank Act (H. R. ----)
An act to provide for the general welfare by reestablishing a Federal Monetary System based on original US. Constitutional principles; to limit Congress to only Tax and Spend money toward the general welfare; to establish a Public Investment Trust within the Department of the Treasury for the purpose of holding all monies collected annually through Federal income taxation...
The Science and History of Your Oppression
"This is not an argument about facts versus feelings. There are no facts, only feelings of connection, upon which all Life is based, or feelings of disconnection, where the self-defense mechanism of Violence is rooted. Violence may be handy for winning arguments, but is not a viable long-term strategy for continued existence."
The People's List of Grievances
The Declaration of Independence was America's original "list of grievances" (27 in all), meant to demonstrate our need to break from sovereign rulers who were all "taxation" and no "representation." It's time to repeat history (the good part):
We'll list our grievances together, to show that we will not be divided and conquered anymore. This time around, though, we'll be declaring our "Interdependence." As before, we will cite Natural Law, which we now know to be Economic Law (not the Laws of Economics we created, but the Laws of Economics that created us).
​
Please join with us by listing your main grievance alongside other Americans. Send a picture and a short quote and we will post it; send a video and we will display it as well!
"The 'war on homelessness' is violence against our neighbors, while many young adults are just a paycheck away from the same plight.
​
Despite being told that children are the future, many of us are struggling to make ends meet, casting doubt on the promise of that future."
"One significant economic issue is the exponential growth of student loan debt. Many students rely on loans to fund their education, leading to substantial debt burdens upon graduation. The rising cost of tuition and other educational expenses really magnifies this problem, leaving many college graduates with signifanct debt that can take years or even decades to repay."
"Educational opportunities are often unevenly distributed, depicting socio-economic inequality. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds may lack access to quality schools, experienced teachers, and resources. which puts them at a disadvantage compared to their more privileged peers."
"A young Hispanic male might struggle with balancing his cultural heritage and the American culture around him. This dual identity can lead to confusion and a sense of not fully belonging to either culture. He may face pressure to assimilate while wanting to preserve his Hispanic roots, and language barriers can create a disconnect from his heritage. Additionally, the stereotypes and prejudice based on ethnicity can impact his self-esteem and opportunities in this country."
"Stagnant wages present a significant challenge for most people today, as they struggle to keep pace with the rising cost of living. Despite increases in productivity and economic growth, real wages for many young workers have remained relatively flat or even declined in some sectors. This stagnation makes it difficult for young individuals to achieve financial stability, save for the future, or pursue important life goals such as home ownership or higher eduction."
"Food insecurity is a pressing problem for low income families, college students, minorities and ethnic groups, people with disabilities, seniors, children, and several other communities. Many struggle with access to affordable healthy food, an increase in income through better job opportunities and wages, and learning about the Food Assistance Programs that can help bridge the gap for those in need.
There is also a major lack of health and nutrition knowledge that allows people to make better food choices, even on a limited budget."
"Rent is a huge economic problem in society today. Many people struggle to afford rising rents, especially in big cities, because wages haven't kept up. High rent costs deepen income inequality and make it hard for people to save for the future. Solving this problem needs policies like building more affordable housing and offering more support for low-income renters."
" As medical costs continue to soar, many individual face significant financial barriers to accessing necessary healthcare services and treatments. This dilemma is particularly acute for marginalized communities and those without adequate insurance coverage. The escalating cost of medications, treatments, and procedures often forces people to make difficult choices between their health and financial stability, exacerbating health disparities and perpetuating a cycle of inequality."
'Recent college graduates are encountering significant challenges in the job market despite investing thousands of dollars in their education. Many struggle to find employment in their fields, and even when they do, the salaries often fail to meet the cost of living. This financial pressure forces numerous graduates to take jobs outside their areas of study for better pay or to juggle multiple jobs to cover basic expenses. The disconnect between the cost of education and the availability of livable wages underscores the urgent need for improved job opportunities and fair compensation for new graduates"

Educate Others
The people with all the privately created money own all the privately created "free speech" - you only have each other. From early slave owners to modern Wall Street bankers, the wealthy have managed to kill the National Public Bank several times, but if we want change, we will need the Bank to do it.

Sign Our Petition
The petition will attempt to get our National Public Bank Bill on the floor of Congress. Meanwhile, our Civil Lawsuit will attempt to retrieve $495 billion in misallocated taxpayer money to fund a "beta test" of the National Public Bank. The bank would then invest in "distressed" and "at risk" communities in every state, per its original mandate to secure the General Welfare and Equal Protection of all Americans.
"If you don't look at it, you can't change it.
You've got to look at it."

Our Findings
Economics was not invented by people; it is a several-billion-year process through which all life has come to exist. Every issue that currently plagues us stems from the economic model we have decided to use instead, which is based on religious hierarchy backed by intraspecific violence. Invented 5,000 years ago by early religious oppressors, this model has managed to mutate and survive for 200 generations, where it has grown big enough to now challenge the original economics that engineered all the Life on this planet. If this biological dissonance is not resolved, it will continue to feedback on itself and eventually amplify beyond the point where humans can stop it. In other words, if our economics wins, it will destroy us in the process, so sooner than too late, we should begin to realign our economics with the original version.
Our Recommendation
Our research suggests that the simplest, most effective first step would be for the United States to reinstate an upgraded version of its Original National Public Bank, with the following stipulations (per Article I, Section 8 to Tax & Spend toward the General Welfare of all Americans):
​
-
Redirect all federal income tax into the Bank,
-
Loan the money out equally to every U.S. community,
-
Rebuild all essential infrastructure in the most sustainable (i.e., “eco-friendly”) way possible,
-
Direct everyone to pay the Bank for the use of these rebuilt “essential needs” (water / sewer, energy, transportation, shelter, healthcare, agriculture, education, communication), then
-
Equally disperse all monies collected into the personal accounts of every U.S. taxpayer, based on social security number (we suggest the money accumulate in these accounts until some designated “retirement age”).
In return, America will see a dramatic reduction in (or complete elimination of) the following:
-
Cancer, Diabetes, Heart Disease, and Alzheimer’s
-
Depression, Anxiety, Obesity, and Suicide
-
Incarceration, Homelessness, and Mental Illness
-
Domestic and School Violence, Police and Gang Violence
-
Homicide, Assault, Genocide, and War
-
All Legal and Illegal Substance Abuse
-
All forms of Theft
-
Pollution, Soil Degradation, and Carbon Emissions
-
Mass Extinction, Deadly Pandemics and Outbreaks
-
Distressed Communities, Food and Banking Deserts, Hunger, Poverty, Environmental Racism, and Gentrification
-
Predatory Lending, Foreclosures, Bankruptcies, and Rent Hikes
-
Government Subsidies to Private Businesses, as well as Corporate and Bank Bailouts
-
Unemployment, Unlivable Wages, Price Gouging, and Inflation
-
All Forms of Personal Debt, as well as National Debt
Why is This the Best Solution?
Violence is a "Communicable Disease."
We cannot stop Violence with "reasoning;" Life is not built on reasoning, it is built from the bottom up, using layer upon layer of communication. Multicellular organisms engineered an elaborate "communication grid" to maintain homeostatic balance within an unyielding environment, always communicating these genetic "engineering blueprints" forward in Time. For two billion years, the natural environment shaped us. When oppressors utilized violence to arbitrarily re-shape the economic environment of everyone else, our natural cellular disposition sought to maintain balance ("adapt") within this new "unyielding" environment. Thus, violence has been perpetually re-communicated, forcing the oppressed to steer themselves into the role of oppressor for 5,000 years, to maintain a false sense of balance. The toxic communication of violence is designed to shock cells into action, but was never meant to perpetually resound. Whether we acknowledge it or not, all cellular life is connected, and must navigate within a narrow "homeostatic" window to exist; the feedback loop from our systemic communication of violent oppression is driving our ecosystem outside this window and into extinction. We will follow, except for the wealthy, who are building the means to "jump ship," just like any virus would, to seek a new host.
Mutate and Survive: the Violence is Hiding in the Money
The violent will argue that they maximize economic growth, but through the invention of money, they have instead found a way to monetarily add all our human "costs" (or losses) onto the "benefit" (or profit) side of their balance sheets ($5 trillion in U.S. healthcare costs is just one example of the "economic growth" of internal violence that benefits the many "intermediary" scavengers who hover while the system does the killing for them.
Within a natural economic environment, where everything is connected (circular), violence would be a cost that detracts from overall benefit (growth). Modern oppressors double their monetary value through their own money origination process, which doubles immediately upon its creation, giving birth to an equal amount of debt (violence) and credit. "Debt" represents the future indentured servitude of each "debtor", for the sin of being poor, while the "Credit" represents the reason why they are poor.
What economists euphemistically call “inflation” is the con of the century (actually, two centuries). When we labor, we are paid with money whose price has yet to be fixed (this is easily done, because money has no tangible value; it “stores” value simply because we all share a [naïve] belief that it does). Originally, labor created every product, which then became the property of the laborer. Oppression severed this connection; they usurped the product and replaced it with this free-floating value we now call a “wage,” which incrementally erodes in value each time an “intermediary” get their hands on the product as it takes the “scenic route” back to where it started: the laborer, now turned “consumer.” In the most unkindest cut of all, our own government takes a cut of these “wages,” diminishing their value even further, in what our forefathers would call “taxation without representation,” as the taxes also trickle up and not down to those who need them most. What proceeds is a perpetual “inflation / debt” spiral, which represents yet another amplifying feedback loop that will unravel us very soon now.
Violence Spreads in areas of Economic Disconnection; Economic Connection is the cure.
Violence simply cannot dissipate in an environment designed to amplify it. Mutual (reciprocal) economic connection is what brought single cells together into multicellular "organizations" like us. To steer us back onto this path, we must recreate an environment where "mutualism" again becomes our best strategy. Logistically, the National Public Bank seals the disconnections in the money supply, allowing it to flow like the lifeblood within our internal "multicellular economy" and not as a vehicle for the parasitic extraction of our labor value. The Bank can refocus us on what has always been our singular purpose: to secure more Certainty through reciprocal Connection.
The Bank will:
1) eliminate debt and inflation, while still incentivizing a strong "work ethic;"
2) ensure that the cost of violence does not fall on some innocent "third party;"
3) build sustainable ("green") economic infrastructure in every community;
4) generate retirement dividends, a more sustainable form of "social security;"
5) guarantee a livable wage because it equally distributes opportunity and rewards mutual success.
Educate Yourself
Every problem we currently face is the result of Violence.
This includes our internal health, our societal health, and the health of every life form on the planet. How has Violence been able to infect us so thoroughly, from the tiniest cancer cell to an entire ecosystem?
All Life is connected by a continual chain of communication; this several-billion-year process is known as “economics.”
Both communication and economics share the same definition: connection to and conversion of energy to transmit some purpose.
For over two billion years, cells have literally “made a living” as organic communication engineers. Cellular engineering projects are always designed around creating more certainty (also known as “homeostasis;” the “uncertainty” of homeostatic imbalance is a constant irritation to them). Cells have the same answer to every problem: connect to energy and convert it, toward improved communication. This single strategy helped build multicellular organisms such as us. If the flow of energy is disconnected at any point in this circuit of Life, the whole system is compromised. Thus, all life is interconnected because Life cannot exist unless it is interconnected.
The economics that we practice today is not the same economics that engineered us or any of the other life on this planet.
In one violent and traumatic moment, economics and religion were born; both remain intertwined to this day.
Violent oppressors overran early religious temples; they claimed to be the true “intermediary” between the people and their gods, but their real motive was the hostile takeover of an extortion racket already created by early religious priests, who had taken the home people built for their gods and converted it into a temple—part marketplace, part administration complex—where priests became the self-appointed managers of one-third of the land, which they had claimed was “the god’s property.” When oppressors usurped this turnkey business, they placed the people’s gods high out of reach, where they suddenly became disconnected and angry, and demanded a lifetime of labor from the people, to repent for a debt of sin they never personally committed. By using the threat of violence to sell the myth of some hierarchy created from the top-down, oppressors solidified the staples of our modern “intermediary” economy: slave labor, taxation, debt, property rights, and the parasitic extraction of wealth from the bottom to the top. No economist created this economics; the study of economics is only a recent invention, to legitimize the economics of oppression, which continues to confound modern economists because its entire premise is flawed; Life was built from the bottom up, not the top down.
Once this parasitic economic model was built on top of the original economics, it created several “disconnections.”
Once the oppressor stepped in as the “intermediary” between the people and their gods, it disconnected 200 generations of people from their shared beliefs, the products of their labor, and their liberty.
Wherever the communication of life gets disrupted, a natural reaction occurs down at the cellular level—a “distress signal”—normally meant to unify a connected purpose among the multicellular “community” to fight or flee; because the current economic model has us so thoroughly disconnected at the societal level, however, these signals have slowly escalated into a toxic feedback loop (chain reaction) of both internal and external disconnection—Violence—that is unravelling the planet.
Cancers, for example, start as single cells that disconnect and begin hoarding the resources of their own multicellular community; this creates an escalating imbalance that eventually kills everyone, including the cancer itself. Why did the cancer cell disconnect?
Because it got the message to disconnect, likely though the communication of continual violence done to it through carcinogenic intake, which is an addiction caused by the continual violence of externally generated “chronic” stress, which is caused by the disconnection of people from their essential needs, forcing them to work long hours for little pay, no benefits, and no job security. This constant pressure from the “top down” communicates a steady feedback loop of disconnection that is toxic to all life.
This growing communication of Violence will continue to sound until A) it completely unravels us, or B) we finally reconnect our economics to match the original version upon which life came to exist.
Life is nothing but converted energy. Communication is nothing but converted energy. Economics is the process by which life converts energy to exist. For energy, communication, or economics to flow, the "circuit" in which it travels must be fully connected and unimpeded. Disconnection anywhere in this chain creates an imbalance that ultimately affects the entire system.

3 Ways to Stop Feeding Violence
1. Promote Positive Liberty over Negative Liberty
Life is programmed to seek more and more certainty. Positive Liberty represents our drive to seek this "more" from within ourselves; to maximize our own capacity. Negative Liberty represents our drive to seek this "more" from what lies outside ourselves, which leads us to covet, subdue, consume, assimilate, or even destroy the things around us. The subtle difference is that Negative Liberty is motivated by fear of uncertainty; instead of using the Power around us as inspiration, we seek to keep it "under control." By seeking Certainty through Control, Negative Liberty only extracts from the power of the universe; it does not add anything of its own. Meanwhile, the Negative Liberty of one person inevitably encroaches upon the Negative Liberty of another, followed by laws, borders, property rights, and the violence needed to uphold them. On the flip side, there are no boundaries to what our Positive Liberty can achieve; by maximizing our potential energy as scholars, artisans, athletes, and artists, we also become a natural source of Power for others. The deeper you dig to find your source of Power, the closer you get to the root where all things are connected; this is where the real value is stored. Humans as a species did not reach the top through Violence, but through maximizing their Positive Liberty. Negative Liberty is a strategic mistake; it is stunting our growth as a species. We need to get back to the economic strategy that carried us two billion years, and move from a disconnected species to a unified economic "body."
2. Reject the Money of Slaveowners
Money is where oppression has secretly stowed away; the coercion of slave labor through the issuance of debt. Debt is the invention of early oppressors, who created a mythical "hierarchy" run by distant angry gods who demanded a lifetime of labor as repayment for all our past and future sins; payment was (conveniently) collected by the gods' second in command,” the violent oppressor of the moment. Evidence shows that the people weren't necessarily convinced by the story so much as by the violence used to back it up.
We can no longer afford to work for the money of oppressors; literally. It is a trap we must step into because all our means of existence have been placed within the trap; a lifetime of debt is still the only path to gain access to our essential needs. 76 trillion tireless native and resident cells work day and night to keep each of us alive, but even we know that they won't work unless we feed them first.
Money is a ruse to extract our labor; it is nothing more than an IOU for goods and services that are subsequently devalued by profit, inflation, demand, scarcity - any excuse to erode the value of the IOU before we cash it in.
$32 trillion in national debt, $16 trillion in housing debt, $1 trillion in credit card debt; private banks aren't leveraging money - money doesn’t exist – debt represents the leveraging of American labor. Modern oppressors are banking on the notion that the people will happily labor for a lifetime to work off that $50 trillion in debt, using only their wages; these wages are not only devalued during the exchange of goods and services, but also diminished by taxation, as the people foot the bill for all the sunk costs of the economic infrastructure necessary for the private sector to run this money laundering / extortion "operation." Taxes also cover any private sector bailouts, as well as subsidies, which are mostly "kickbacks" given to essential needs businesses to give the appearance that prices remain "stable," when in fact subsidies only serve to make the $26 burger look like it cost $5.
3. Call out the Flaws in Hierarchal Economic Thinking
Whatever we call it—Communism, Socialism, Authoritarianism, Capitalism—it is Oppression when a parasitic economic relationship exists, meaning that a hierarchy is established so that someone at the "top" is allowed to extract from the labor value of someone at the "bottom." The U.S. Constitution did not lay the groundwork for Oppression, but instead laid down a foundation for mutualism—to provide Equal Protection through taxing and spending toward the General Welfare of all Americans. This is the sentiment for which America has been praised; this is what makes us unique. Let’s practice what we originally preached - “Americanism” - not the latest knock-off of economic oppression.
We were created from the bottom up, not the top down. There is no hierarchy within the human organism; the body engineered the brain as its central communication hub. Brains are energy-intensive and thus grow and shrink based on need ("use it or lose it"). We have mistaken hierarchy with parasitism. Parasitism is the most vulnerable strategy next to predation, because neither one creates any value, they only extract from the value that already exists.
The most valuable component in the process of economics is labor. No value exists without it. If you want something of value, but do not want to perform labor to get it, then you must want someone else to do the labor for you, which makes you an oppressor. Period.
Our cells speak a binary language we feel as emotion, to communicate a unified message to either connect or disconnect. Only connection - from the "inside out" - leads toward our continued existence as a species. The divide and conquer strategy of predators attempts to disconnect us from the "outside in" with what they claim are "facts." Ironically, our feelings of disconnection - communicated through our poor health outcomes, our suicides and homicides, our homelessness and incarceration, our anxiety and depression, etc. - are the only facts that are backed by statistics. Also ironic is that the Violence that predators use to win these kinds of arguments is not a fact at all, but also an emotional reaction. Facts - it turns out - are simply beliefs backed by our emotions. When we are done "emoting," we need to decide whether we wish to connect and live, or disconnect and die. .
Humans got to where they are because our cells chose to pursue mutualistic economic relationships; everyone works, everyone benefits, everyone belongs, and everyone’s General Welfare is Equally Protected. Clearly, the next step is to build the infrastructure to create mutualistic economic relationships at the global level. Evidence suggests that it is becoming our best and only option. Our cells are excellent listeners; it is time for us to learn some listening skills.
To turn on a light, you would first need to plug it in; to connect it to a source of energy. No one would ever refuse to plug in a light until it agrees to shine. No one should refuse to feed someone until they agree to work.

It is Time to Challenge the Myths that Perpetuate our own Oppression:

There is no such thing as debt; there are only deficits. We were all freely given the internal "infrastructure" to cancel out these deficits of air or nutrition, as well as the means to counter any possible infringements upon our liberty to do so. A deficit is something we owe to ourselves; it only becomes a debt when someone else usurps control over our means of existence. This arrangement constitutes an infringement of our liberty and has no place in a country allegedly built upon such a foundation.
No one ever arrived on or departed from this planet carrying with them any visible "property." If the notion of "property rights" is to have any foundation in logic, then the starting point of this argument must begin with the ownership of our bodies, to facilitate our "inalienable" right to Life. Our clear failure to guarantee personal Liberty shows the fundamental flaw in believing that Life or Liberty can be secured through some violent strategy implemented from the "top down." Property is the reward for those willing to use Violence to obtain it. Through property, early colonists secured the "right" to vote on the direction of America. The property ownership of slaves allowed them three-fifths more voting power per slave. This laid the groundwork for slave money - the form of money we use today - to count as extra "free speech," turning money into property, and property into voting power. The leveraging of slave money into more slave money is what allowed for the transfer of American homes from working people to Wall Street, who can now extract more and more from people's wages through continually raising rent prices, while they patiently wait for housing prices to inflate, dump the houses onto the next batch of eager homeowners at adjustable rates, which Wall Street and the Federal Reserve can raise at any time, beginning a new "boom - bust" cycle that perpetuates indebtedness and ensures our slave labor for generations to come.
​
Labor is and always has been the only source of value creation. Rocks and Trees are nice, but worthless without the Labor necessary to turn them into a usable product. Disconnecting our Labor from the products of our Labor has been the source of much mischief; we need to get an accurate accounting method to reflect the infinite value of the labor compared to the intermediary roles of arbitrary ownership or product distribution. At the very least, workers should be rewarded with a percentage of overall sales; in the current accounting method, any rise in prices only serves to extract from - and therefore devalue - the individual "wages" of the American worker. This clear flaw in the economic model has only been normalized through the tradition of oppression, where people and their labor have always been subordinated.
​
All our suffering begins with the notion that the "controlled" use of Violence is a necessary part of existence, when the evidence clearly shows that it is Death itself. Since oppressors introduced Death as a strategy, allowing it to get a foot in the door, we have generated a feedback loop of fighting Death with more and more Death. To stop re-communicating this message, we need to understand the defense mechanism that generates Violence and understand why it has seemingly crossed over into an offensive weapon. The working theory is that Violence is always a defense mechanism, caused when a sufficient amount of "fight / flight" hormones (cortisol, adrenaline, etc.) are released into the system - our chemical / emotional cue to disconnect. Through Adverse Childhood Experiences, for example, or simply from the continual stress of uncertainty, these toxins are constantly building up and need to be released (offloaded or "re-communicated"). Because we continue to implement an economics built on disconnection (Violence), this toxic communication agitates our cellular defense mechanisms and is continually "re-communicated" through numerous Fight (assault, bullying, homicide) or Flight (addiction, suicide, cancer) scenarios.
