Tax Free Money

Tax Free Money

A pile of money is sitting on a table next to a calculator.

Wouldn't that be nice?


Where is this money that cannot be taxed, creates no inflation and cannot be invested? And what is it used for?


It is money that is used for a very special purpose, then destroyed when it gets to a bank and its use is over. Right now it is only a concept, but it is beginning to take form in many minds and countries.


We call it Energy Currency. It is a parallel currency. It does not replace existing currencies. It runs concurrent with them. It will make possible the elimination of welfare and warfare taxes.


Why do we need a parallel currency? Because presently the main emphasis of World currencies is on commerce and profitakeing. The emphasis of Energy Currency is Basic Human Needs and by extension the needs and health of our Natural World.


When we think about what is left out of our "for profit" economic belief systems of the World, it is obvious right away that Human life and life in the larger sense are not protected. What is important in present global economic governance is how much money is something worth and how to make money from that value. And we see these values change day to day, as they are reassessed by stock markets, central banks and the federal reserve.


Human value is not part of this calculation. Even though People are the energy engine that keeps everything going. Like Nature, we are looked upon as a natural resource to be exploited. When in truth, because we are essential, we should be valued as the standard for currency values. Not gold! The healthier, more educated, better quality of life that Humanity enjoys Worldwide would be the barometer that controls World currency value.


Modern commerce systems we use are not evil, they simply evolved through hundreds of years of competition. But during those hundreds of years an essential value was left behind. We were so preoccupied, entertained and seduced by the game of economics that we did not notice that our most important possession was slipping away; Life.


Very often the adverse symptoms of for profit economics would hint at disaster. But it has been profitable to ignore these signs, so far. Today, we are more and more aware that the damaging effects of for profit economics are taking us further and further away from more equal societies and sustainable practices and ever closer to irreparable damage. Warning signs are everywhere; suppression of better technologies and practices that challenge the existing ones, profit made on unhealthy foods and drugs through advertising lies, scapegoating of countries and groups of people to obscure the injustices committed in their regions so that "business as usual" can continue, competition for natural resources that result in wars, pollution of our land, air and water, climate change accelerated by human fossil fuels burning. Anything is allowed if profit is the goal.


We can begin to change this. The change happens first in our own minds. Our financial architecture, which is global government, cannot and will not change on its own. Once the necessity of a parallel currency dedicated to human needs makes general sense and a tipping point of humanity is in agreement that it is necessary, there is no way to stop it. "One's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions." Fortune Cookie.


How will Energy Currency make things better? When a currency is dedicated to providing Human needs, food, shelter, education and healthcare, pitting people against each other for survival is finally over. Voluntary creativity is then possible. Slavery is impossible. 100 percent literacy is possible. Suppression of best practices is impossible. Universal healthcare is possible. Homelessness is impossible. Starvation is impossible. Climate Change can begin to heal. Reality control is over, because education is universally available for free. Only with an educated World population can we hope to approach real democracy.


But what if I want more? More stuff, more houses, more boats, cars, exotic foods, lots of expensive clothes? The for profit economy is still there and working the way it always has. And it is taxable. You can work for money and spend it however you want, invest or save. It will still be a useful and powerful system but it won't be killing Life.


Things can change when people want them to change. Someday the statement "cost of living" will no longer exist. Why are we paying to live from the moment we are born? Society should be paying itself to live well. We are the only reason it exists!


Energy Currency will initiate the transition to universal renewable energy, to universal healthcare, elimination of welfare, elimination of warfare, and elimination of taxes.


This simple concept points towards a direction that will eventually become inevitable. Energy is the amplifier. Human Energy is essential! Energy Currency for Humanity will protect and amplify all life.

The most important thing we have to do, now that we have re boarded our ship in downtown Sydney, is to increase the number of pages in our passports. Most countries will stamp a whole page and sometimes two. Our passports, though new, only had twenty eight pages. This will not be enough to get us around the world! So we made an appointment with the US Embassy, along with 50 other passengers, to address this issue by purchasing larger passport books which have 52 pages. The Embassy was new and modern, the employees good natured and efficient, considering that we descended on them all at once. We conducted our business in an orderly manner under the watchful eyes of the US President, Vice President and Secretary of State, whose framed photographs dominated the far wall.

After all our planning for Jeff's next operation and waiting out the days till we arrived in Cairns, Australia, we finally flew to the Sydney airport. It was evening when we got there and both of us were exhausted. We both thought why call an Uber, there are a bunch of taxis hanging around, just take one of them to the motel. That was a mistake. We ended up paying $100 for a 20 minute trip in no traffic. Uber would have been half, I found out later. Since then we have taken several Uber rides in electric cars. And they have been excellent experiences. Australia has been importing Chinese made electric cars. We got to ride in a BYD and Uber drivers like to talk. We conversed with a Japanese driver and an Indian driver, both men. Both had been in Australia about 15 years. They seemed to like being in the big city. Both agreed it is generally too expensive. The driver from Japan, his wife works in the hospital and they have children, he likes the flexibility of the job so he can be involved with school and activities. The Indian driver has a son and would like to return to India so his son can experience his homeland. We are resting at our motel and I am outside watching the wild cockatiels.

We have several sea days before we arrive again in Cairns, Australia. This means we will not see land for a while. The rhythm of sea days is very different from shore days. There are a variety of activities you can participate in. Almost anything you can imagine is being invented as a result of the variety of people onboard, some of whom want to duplicate the entertainments they enjoyed where they used to live.  This is a residential cruise ship so a lot of the passengers are onboard long-term, meaning many months or years or the rest of their lives. The longest stay, if you “buy” your cabin, is 15 years. When Jeff and I bought our cabin that was all that was offered. Now you can buy a cabin for 5 years. Each circumnavigation takes about three and one half years. We are going to try to stay onboard for at least one circumnavigation. Before the sea days began, we visited two of the islands of Tonga. At the first stop, people scuba dived over a reef right next to our ship

The float of cloud drifts and encircles a mountain leaving just the very top, a pointed witches cap poking through. These islands have the most magnificent mountains. They brood around the harbors, snagging the clouds that pass. No doubt they have inspired fantastic stories. The cloud shadows create chameleon-like changes on mountain surfaces, making them even more expressive than oceans that amuse themselves by hiding what they contain; mountains are hysterical by contrast. Always looking for attention. “Look. Look again!, what about this?” They may hold a pose for a while seeming docile, then you look up and they have disappeared. White mist covers just a grey suggestion, then suddenly black silhouettes like broken giant teeth rise defiantly. So much animation, millions of years after volcanic upheavals shook these mountains from the sea depths.

Medical emergencies all have a similar feeling. Intensity, urgency, a changed perception of time; only events and human encounters progress, time seems warped, unimportant. After several sleepless nights because Jeff was having difficulty peeing and he was beginning to have pain, he went to the onboard clinic to get catheterized. There were three attempts with successively larger catheters. This was painful and distressing for him, though he kept joking about it, “this is not good sex!” The attempts were unsuccessful. He was given pain killers and an ambulance met us at the dock for a 10 minute ambulance ride to the hospital. Jeff is an 80 year old man with an enlarged prostate so he normally has trouble peeing. But this time it stopped altogether and there was blood. We are waiting at the hospital for the urologist. Nurses and a general practitioner have spoken to us in English. Very kind, polite, casual and patient. The urologist arrives and talks with Jeff. He is going to get the operating room ready and put Jeff out. Then he can do the operation. We wait in our curtained off cubicle Jeff is lying on a bed. A woman who came with her husband, who has high blood pressure, is behind the curtain to the left of us. He had collapsed. She is reciting the Lord's Prayer and Hail Marys over and over in an emotional whisper. She is crying. A young man is in the cubicle to our right. He seems to have broken his arm. It is all wrapped up in white gauze. Earlier a man had been stung by something and ointment was applied. A pregnant woman has come in. This is a modest hospital, very basic, two floors. They have what they need. A few flies buzz lazily around, but most are killed by the electric device on the wall. A very slight smell of urine is in the air. We arrived here about 8:30. It is now 2:00. Jeff has had an ultrasound, blood pressure checks and an EKG. Now he is in a wheelchair waiting for the nurse to take him to an operating room. The waiting room has about 10 people waiting. About 50 chairs in all. Not terribly busy for a Saturday. Light and darker coffee colored skin, attractive, rounded features and large expressive eyes set apart the native population. They are only a little curious about us. There is no rushing here.
