The Daily Bail

From the 2009 film 'The International' inspired by the BCCI (Bank of Credit and Commerce International) scandal, comes the following truth:

When you control the debt of conflict, you control everything:

Calvini: "No, this is not about making profit from weapon sales. It's about control."

Eleanor: "Control the flow of weapons, control the conflict?"

Calvini: "No. No No. The IBBC is a bank. Their objective isn't to control the conflict, it's to control the debt that the conflict produces. You see, the real value of a conflict - the true value - is in the debt that it creates. You control the debt, you control everything. You find this upsetting, yes? But this is the very essence of the banking industry, to make us all, whether we be nations or individuals, slaves to debt."

You can stop being debt slaves by living humbly within your means. Walk away from that depreciating house and car and rent or live with relatives, carpool, ride a bicycle, or use public transit. Eat at home. Pack a sack lunch. Resist buying next season's fashion. Cancel the gym and country club memberships, satellite/cable TV, and reduce your mobile rate plan. Pay off those credit cards and cut them up permanently. Use Credit Unions rather than commercial banks if possible. Get out and help your neighbor plant and maintain a garden for some temporary peace of mind. Then we get our local, state, and federal government's houses in order!
