- THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION CONFERENCE - INTRO PERCEPTION OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROBLEMATICS AND GLOBAL MONETARY REFORM VISION Content prepared by Aljosa Duric – a self-educated free thinker, independent researcher, founder of the alternative worth appraisal and exchange system "Crom Alternative Currency System", co-founder and the first president of the NGO "Crom Alternative Exchange Association". http://cromalternativemoney.org association[at]cromalternativemoney.org "Debt is a true form of slavery, and the usury-system is the underlying cause of war throughout history. Unless you know who has lent what to whom, you know nothing about politics, you know nothing about history, and you know nothing about international conflicts", Ezra Pound claimed in not-so-distant past. On one occasion a German philosopher Johann von Goethe said that no one is more enslaved than he who thinks himself free without being so. Frankly, in a society based exclusively on money and absolutely dependent on money, how can anyone understand anything else, without first understanding what money is? PART I Essentially, the increasingly obvious need for a global monetary reform can simply and easily be understood through a “Day before and Day after” scenario. The Day before the global monetary reform: Having in mind the famous Rothschild's statement: "give me control of a nations money supply, and I care not who makes it's laws", it is not necessary to be a quantum physicist to come to a conclusion that there are only two possible choices in front of a money issuer, in our case the central bank - to serve or to be served. If the role of the central bank is to serve, it prints money as a value; if the purpose of the central bank is to be served, it prints money as a debt. This black and white perspective conveys to us an enigma that politicians, scientists and media still completely ignore: if Earth is not flat anymore, if slavery has been abolished, if there is no more Inquisition and fascism has been defeated, then why the People of the World – the only producers of real values on this planet, through a concept in which money is issued out of nothing without any material basis, against all conventional wisdom – accept indebtedness to a private institution for the amount of all existing money plus interests, without receiving anything in return? And how can it be that unlike much smarter heads, some individuals without even the first grade of elementary school realize that we live in a system created by bankers to benefit bankers? The Day after the global monetary reform: 1) Till yesterday, seigniorage represented the most secret and greatest power on the planet we were all slaves to. Camouflaged behind the term "Developed countries", some unconsciously slaved to it 95%, whilst camouflaged behind the term "Developing countries", others also unconsciously slaved to it 99%. The difference in the percentages derives from the old wise proverb that the third, in our case it refers to the "money masters", will always make profit easily from the other two fighting. Restart of the global monetary system brings incertitude of critical importance with itself: the United States and the UK, for example, and also Africa, were awakened to a new day in the same attire in which they fell asleep yesterday, or someone has remembered to smooth over the scandalous pseudo-imperialistic shame, which has in this and similar cases left behind ruins and millions dead, behind which is in reality hidden the unscrupulous greed of monetary moguls for the total global control? 2) The global financial elite has always controlled the entire supply of money in the world, while people are spending their precious lifetime in excessive production and excessive consumption of mostly unnecessary waste products that no one needs. Robots and machines already perform many manufacturing and design activities thus replacing humans effectively, and technology development is advancing in this sense towards the ratio close to 100%. After the restart of the global monetary system, will people awake to a new day more creative and able to change their own past purposes of existence in something more useful than making a few really rich people even richer and the poor even poorer? PART II How did it happen that nations were made so dependent on wage labor for fictitious money, and that people got addicted to shopping, pharmaceutical products, sexual fantasies, kitsch and a wide range of unnecessary extravagant and fancy services? For a moment let's try to sail into the loving embrace between a bank and a state through an example in which the organizer of charity manifestation needs to order 300,000 tickets, each with a printed price of 99 dollars. Two printing houses have submitted their offer. The price of the first offer is the order's intrinsic value of five hundred dollars. The amount to be paid for the second offer is the overall nominal price of 300.000 tickets, which is thirty million dollars. Some strange business logic led the organizer of the charitable event to choose the second, more expensive option. Is it just economy, or aren't the governments lying, and the bankers stealing, while the rich keep laughing? Today there are almost no things for which the ordinary layman cannot be arrested, since everything has become a crime. The network of imprisonment through laws and regulations specifically designed to prevent creative work has been imposed upon us by the socio-economic system that is now completely autonomous in relation to over 7 billion of us – the most intelligent creatures on this cosmic body. The story about the monetary emission gain, the so-called "seigniorage", goes like this: There was once a state called "Progressia", where a man decided to sell a few of his Mustangs. He made a deal with a friend who paid him four geese and two pigs for a horse. The news of the offer spread around Progressia. An interested merchant offered to pay 30 meters of textile, set of cups and saucers, and a collection of five rare books for a Mustang. Shortly after the conclusion of the deal, a carpenter, who also needed a horse, arrived. In exchange for the animal, the seller accepted new furniture. Finally, the majestic Progressor arrived and bought a Mustang for a golden coin. Each single trade has been conducted in a fair manner. Although the same price had been paid with different things, equivalent counter-values were exchanged. However, the man who sold Mustangs was not aware of the fact that the Progressor is obliged to declare only the legal, that is to say, nominal value of money, and of the Progressor's right to conceal the intrinsic value of his means of payment. So, what if one half of the Progressor's golden coin is really made of pure gold, but the other half is made of much cheaper materials? In that way, a legal robbery of 50% of the value of each concluded deal would be allowed to the Progressor. Or even worse, and it's enough to look back in history, what if the Progressor's greedy appetite grows to such unthinkable measure that he, without violating any laws, decides to issue a golden coin which contains only 0.1% of that precious metal? The legal issuing of counterfeit money would open the magic door of omnipotence to the Progressor. In the "modern" civilization that Progressia represents, all men are just consumable goods from birth. Lost in democracy labyrinths, they are trying to prove to someone who doesn't care at all about it that they are worth more than their nearby market competitors. No one pays any attention to the aforementioned Progressor's legal authority for acquiring unlimited purchasing power through undisturbed issuance of counterfeit money. At the end of this short instructive story, the Progressor has bought up everything that was for sale, not only material values but political influence too. Then came the turn for the population's property not offered for sale, including homes, farms, stores and workshops. Bravest opposed to such form of democracy, but the Progressor promised to his huge army in the meantime purchased with falsificated money, reward in the same fake golden coins for every rebel scalp. PART III Dictatorship of nontransparency - what follows is a detailed and precise description of the controversial and problematic relationship "Individual - Community - Money", namely, through official document of Crom Alternative Exchange Association sent to Croatian Government. Croatian Government hasn't changed its position even after intervention of Croatian Personal Data Protection Agency which, as an independent body, supervises implementation of the Information Access Act. The document in question here, entitled "Croatia: Government and Citizens between Imagination, Reality, Prejudices and Assumptions", can easily be adapted for an attempt to establish communication with any other national government or supranational institution on the theme of transparency. 1) On the geographical area of Croatia, does anyone or anything have the right to claim the right over the life of any man (please bear in mind that question is strictly related to the living man of flesh and blood, and not to physical person)? PART IV Already Existing Socio-Economic Alternatives. In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 2) What gives Parliament jurisdiction over once conceived and, later, over the newborn child? Namely, unless born or still unborn child is a slave, no other entity cannot impose its will on him/her in any other way than by coercion - is this correct? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 3) A child is born, but nowhere officially registered. Two days later, in the middle of the night, in passing, it is abandoned by the parents in front of one tavern. The child's parents disappeared, they never appeared again. Parent's citizenship status is unknown. What is the status of the newborn child when it comes to citizenship, and what are its rights in that sense once it reaches 18 years of age? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 4) How Parliament acquires jurisdiction over a foreigner who stepped on the geographical area of Croatia, regardless of whether foreigner is a sovereign, citizen or subject? In fact, in certain cases all Parliaments’ decision only apparently represents legal authority because someone's previous voluntary consent is firstly required. If foreigner has not freely and voluntarily consented to that Parliament’s decisions, it means either his consent is just assumed or they are imposed by force. Which one of these two possibilities is correct, if any? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 5) In addition to those of the Croatian Parliament, are there any foreign jurisdictions on the geographical area of Croatia? For example, foreign military bases and embassies. In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 6) According to the Law on Croatian Citizenship, person is considered to be a Croatian citizen in the case this status has been acquired in conformity with acts valid from the date of entry into force of that law. Is it possible for any variation of a legal fiction - i.e. person - like for example company or similar, to become a Croatian citizen? Furthermore, do airplanes and for example trains, cars, businesses or the like, have a Croatian nationality? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 7) An officer of the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Croatia has received a request for issuance of identity card, with Birth certificate of, for example, Mirko Mirkovic adduced. After a while, Croatian Interior Ministry issued an ID card with the name MIRKO MIRKOVIC printed on it in all capital letters. Will the device for detecting forgeries start blinking and howling because an attempt to counterfeit someone's identity is discovered? Who is a Croatian citizen - Mirko Mirkovic, MIRKO MIRKOVIC, both or neither one? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 8) Is it obligatory to be a member of society on the geographical area of Croatia? Let's take for example someone who, in the middle of the world financial crisis, on the basis of results achieved since the establishment of the Croatian state until today, thinks that mentioned community is completely corrupted. Is it possible for him by not hurting anyone and do anything threatening to anyone to be legally free, to hunt and fish, live in peace within nature and be exempted from being subjected to Croatian laws because he refuse to accept them? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 9) How can Croatian citizen become sovereign? Sovereign in sense of not being citizen of any state and exercising God and nature given rights. Absence of these possibility would in fact mean that all those who want but can't achieve such status are nothing else than ordinary slaves - is this correct? To be sovereign means that someone doesn't have to be a citizen of any country, for the simple reason that he or she was created by nature, not by the state - this applies especially to case of the Republic of Croatia which exists as such only recently. It would also mean that the legal fiction such as the Parliament took it upon itself to give itself the power to a higher authority than the nature, through which by fraud or by force it impose its will to all those who do not consent to be controlled - is this correct? As the absence of these possibilitiy could not be interpreted any other way than the one in which we are all slaves owned by someone or something - if so, the question is repeated - how can Croatian citizen become sovereign? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 10) Is the Croatian citizen the one who lives far away from civilization in mountains on the Croatian geographical area, and whose birth was never officially registered anywhere? If the answer is negative, what is his status? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 11) It is a very surprising fact that so many people do not understand what money is, nor do they understand how money works. Is there any law from which is clearly and precisely visible that HRK - the Croatian monetary unit - is not just a worthless piece of paper but for example gram of gold, gram of silver, kilogram of wheat or some other quantity of any other material value? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 12) Like all other countries on this planet, Republic of Croatia is also in these difficult times literally devoured by the public debt. In financial statement of the Croatian central bank for 2009, banknotes and coins in circulation are classified under liabilities. This type of liability is in fact unique type of obligation in the world for which is not specified a time limit in which to meet. In the Law on Croatian National Bank there is a part called "The introduction of the euro as the official currency", so it is clearly visible that euro as a national currency will soon arrive in Croatia. However, this automatically means that the day of introduction of euro as a legal currency in Croatia, for all those who at that time are in possession of HRK and refuse (which is their inviolable right) to accept repayment of original debt with some kind of substitute payment medium - will represent the day of expiration of time limit for Croatian central bank to pay all of its obligations towards them. In order to repay as a borrower the amount of 100 kuna of the national public debt, Croatian citizen either must sell part of his property, or must do some work. One day prior to introduction of the euro currency in Croatia, he came to the Croatian central bank to pay a part of public debt with 100 HRK earned by hard work on canal excavation. A day later, when he appears in the Croatian central bank with 100 kuna, that is to say with the certificate of their obligation towards him, he will walk out of the bank richer for that what is a material guarantee that stands behind that piece of paper on which a 100 digit is printed. What will, clearly and precisely, that average Croatian citizen receive from the hands of the Croatian central bank officer and with it bring happiness and prosperity to his family? Silver, bronze, gold, wheat, something similar or a big disappointment in the form of zero? Instead of being paid for the original one, the average Croatian citizen could eventually accept some kind of the new obligation of the Croatian National Bank towards him. Besides the fact that 100 euro paper banknote is 10.000 cents, and that 10.000 cents is 100 euro, what else is 100 euro - clearly, exactly and precisely determined and guaranteed by the law - in gold, silver, peppers or any other material values? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 13) In the Republic of Croatia is in use the banking system known as "fractional reserve banking" - is this correct? If this is not true, which system is in use? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 14) What is the required fractional reserve being used today? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 15) What can be understood by studying mentioned system is that banks must hold in reserve only fraction required by law. For example, if it's regulated that required fractional reserve is 10%, then bank on the basis of every HRK that keeps in reserve can lend to someone 9 kuna. Is this true? If not, then under which rules banks are lending money? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 16) Banks keep that reserve in the form of deposit at the Croatian central bank. Is this correct? If not, where do the banks hold their reserves? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 17) This means that if a deposit of 100 HRK has been made, bank can hold 10 HRK as a reserve and lend out 90 HRK to someone. Is this correct? If not, what is the amount that the bank can lend to someone? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 18) Is it true that through the system in question, bank can both keep in reserve all 100 kunas and lend 900 kunas out to someone? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 19) Through the practice of fractional reserve lending banks are allowed to create mentioned 900 HRK that they can lend in above question as a simple accounting entry. Is this correct? If that's not true, then from whence derives the amount of 900 HRK? Furthermore, is it real HRK or the device for detecting forgeries will start blinking and howling because an attempt to counterfeit official national currency is discovered? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 20) If money is created in described manner, then it can be freely said that the largest part, or maybe even the total amount of currency in circulation is created out of nothing other than the simple pen stroke on the paper or mouse action over computer screen. Is this correct? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 21) If the above understanding of how the banking system works is correct, then the largest part, or maybe even the total amount of currency in circulation is created as an interest-bearing debt that must be repaid to banks. But if banks create only the principal, from whence comes money with which interests must be paid? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 22) If it's true that with the repayment of the loan, the money that has been created through it is destroyed, then this means that banks must constantly continue to lend money because otherwise disappearance of the money supply would occur. Is this correct? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 23) The more loans banks give to others; the overall amount of money in circulation becomes greater, and thus inflation. Is this correct? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 24) If banks stop lending money to others, it means that the amount of money in circulation decreases, and therefore deflation occurs. Is this correct? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 25) Government does not create money, government borrows money. Government has to pay interest on borrowed money. Is this true? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 26) Taxation is a source of government revenue. What percentage of collected taxes goes for paying debts and interests on money borrowed by the government? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 27) The government borrows more and more interest-bearing money to repay interest on already existing debts. Is this true? If not, then in which way interest is being paid? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. 28) If through the aforementioned two questions understanding of how the system works is correct, then this means there is no way the government can pay back both principal and interest. Moreover, if the purpose of taxation is repaying of mentioned debts, then taxes for people who live in Croatia represent nothing else than one form of slavery. Isn't this correct? In the name of Government of the Republic Croatia, President Jadranka Kosor replies: Response to the question can not be considered information; request of Crom Alternative Exchange Association to exercise the right of access to information is rejected. Worth appraisal and exchange system named "Crom Alternative Currency System " is specific because based on the principle of "Free Currencies - Free Markets - Free People - Free Planet", in relation to key issues 'what is value' and 'to whom belongs the right to define value', instead of imposing on participants the administrative monopoly on choosing the means of payment or medium of exchange, maximally correctly it enables all members to make business and trade through any type of legal and alternative medium of payment or means of exchange they prefer. Within the system as a universal, but the optional payment medium circulates Crom Alternative Curreny - combination of a fixed quantity of five precious metals. Unlike the official monetary system through which in a mystical way transfer of wealth from hands of working population warred with itself into the hands of the rich takes place, Crom represents a honest and sustainable model of cooperative economics; unlike local currency systems, instead of approaching money problem by imposing territorial limits and opening new possibilities for outbreak of numerous future currency wars, Crom is equally well applicable at both local and global levels; and unlike complementary currency systems, Crom is not a supplement to national currency, but a real alternative to conventional money that instead of temporary alleviation of toothache pain offers option of permanent removal of the disease by going to the dentist. Crom Alternative Currency System has been launched in 2007 as an innovation which always tends toward greater flexibility, and the idea initially conceived by Duric Aljosa from Pula, since 2009 is being developed through Crom Alternative Exchange Association established exactly for that purpose. Instead of financial terms, the value of the Crom Alternative Currency is expressed in real terms. Crom Alternative Currency represents a combination of fixed quantity of five precious metals rather than the price of these metals expressed in a national currency or any other type of currency. System offers a possibility of raising interest-free loans in alternative currency, and exchange of conventional money into alternative currency and vice versa. Since the issuance of currency is based on equivalent relation with real values, money supply is always compatible with the real demand for money; therefore risks of speculation, inflation and deflation are being eliminated. Quantity of money in Crom Alternative Currency System is regulated by both above mentioned tools through which Crom Alternative Currency is issued into existence: Crom Interest Free Loan is approved only on the basis of existing or future values of real character offered as collateral for a loan, and inside Money Exchange euros and dollars are exchangeable in crom only for as long as they can buy precious metals. By configuring mechanism for issuing and distribution of money in such way, together with a currency being backed 100%, all essential prerequisites for long-term stable and sustainable functioning of Crom Alternative Currency System have been met. Given that the money system in economy of some community should not disturb the balance between production level and real consumption needs, or better said, as the money system must not be a barrier for interruption of excessive production, through innovative way of functioning of this alternative economic model in which money supply is regulated so that it supports rational relationship between production and consumption, the abnormal need for constant credit expansion and continuous increase in gross domestic product have been eliminated. Crom Alternative Exchange Association - body that administers functioning of this alternative worth appraisal and exchange system which as an indivisible whole equally belongs to all community members, is currently looking for partner with whom cooperation will be realized in a way that will allow automatic purchasing of the precious metals contained in the definition of Crom Alternative Currency with exchanged dollars and euros. Crom Alternative Currency is issued in electronic form, so the disadvantage of the system is that it allows trading only among registered participants. But the first means of payment in a paper form "Crom Transition Cheque", which has just come to light, although still intended only for registered members, is an optimistic and promising annunciation that planned paper banknotes also will soon appear on the streets of towns and villages. Future development of the system includes intention to insert other commodities like energy and food into the definition of Crom Alternative Currency, and even better approach to the problem of centralized money in a way that in addition to existing mechanisms, through function "member to member loans" participants becomes able to easily finance each other. This will allow creation of money in existence by direct spending - in other words, bricklayer will become the issuer of money by direct crediting of customers with his services. PART V Discussion: "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, we won't get fooled again" is not only a revolutionary song of the legendary rock group "The Who". Crom Alternative Exchange Association does not give up its principles; everyone must be allowed to participate in the reform of global monetary system and in the work on implementation of social transformation. For those reasons, this material is published in advance and remains open to debate to anyone who wants to have his say on the theme of "Global monetary reform and transformation of society".

Ispred Udruge Crom Alternativna Razmjena vam se na tome unaprijed zahvaljujem. Da li na hrvatskom zemljopisnom području bilo tko ili bilo što ima pravo polagati pravo na život bilo kog čovjeka (molim imati u vidu da se pitanje striktno odnosi na živog čovjeka od krvi i mesa, a ne na fizičku osobu)? Što je to što Saboru daje jurisdikciju nad začetim, i kasnije nad rođenim djetetom? Naime, osim ako dijete bilo ono rođeno ili još nerođeno nije rob, niti jedan drugi entitet mu ne može nametati svoju volju na niti jedan drugi način osim prisilom - nije li tako? Dijete je rođeno, ali to nigdje nije službeno zavedeno. Dva dana kasnije, roditelji su noću, u prolazu, dijete u košari pustili ispred jedne gostionice, a zatim netragom nestali i nikad se više nisu pojavili. Državljanstvo roditelja je nepoznato. Kakav status ima to tek rođeno dijete kad je državljanstvo u pitanju, i koja su njegova prava u tom smislu jednom kad napuni 18 godina? Kako Sabor stječe jurisdikciju nad strancem (građanin, subjekt ili suveren) koji je kročio na hrvatsko zemljopisno područje? Naime sve odluke Sabora su u određenim slučajevima samo prividni zakonski autoritet jer zahtjevaju nečiji prethodni dobrovoljni pristanak na njih. Ako ih stranac nije dobrovoljno prihvatio, one su onda ili nametnute silom, ili se samo pretpostavlja da ih je on prihvatio. Koja je od ove dvije mogućnosti ona ispravna, ili to nije nijedna? Osim one Hrvatskog Sabora, postoje li ikakve strane jurisdikcije na hrvatskom zemljopisnom području? Na primjer veleposlanstva i baze stranih vojnih snaga. Po zakonu o hrvatskom državljanstvu, hrvatskim državljaninom se smatra osoba koja je to svojstvo stekla po propisima važećim od dana stupanja na snagu tog zakona. Da li je moguće da bilo koja varijacija pravne fikcije - odnosno osobe - poput na primjer tvrtke ili slično, postane hrvatski državljanin? Da li na primjer vlakovi, avioni, automobili, tvrtke ili slično, imaju hrvatsku nacionalnost? Službenik u MUP-u je zaprimio zahtjev za izdavanjem osobne iskaznice uz kojeg mu je predočen Izvod iz matične knjige rođenih koji glasi (na primjer) na Mirka Mirkovića. MUP je nakon nekog vremena izdao osobnu iskaznicu koja glasi na MIRKA MIRKOVIĆA. Da li će se na uređaju za otkrivanje falsifikata upaliti crveni alarm jer je otkriven pokušaj krivotvorenja nečijeg identiteta? Tko je hrvatski državljanin - Mirko Mirković, MIRKO MIRKOVIĆ, obojica ili ni jedan ni drugi? Da li je na hrvatskom zemljopisnom području obavezno biti članom društvene zajednice? Uzmimo na primjer nekoga tko na osnovu postignutih rezultata od osnivanja hrvatske države pa do danas - usred svjetske financijske krize, smatra da je ta društvena zajednica skroz na skroz korumpirana. Da li je za njega moguće legalno biti slobodan, nikome ne činiti zlo, loviti i pecati, živjeti u miru u prirodi i nikoga ne ugrožavati; a biti izuzet od podlijeganja hrvatskim zakonima jer ih odbija prihvatiti? Kako hrvatski državljanin može postati suveren? Pod suverenim se misli na to da nije državljanin niti jedne zemlje i da ostvaruje svoja i Bogom i prirodom dana prava. Nepostojanje ovakve mogućnosti bi naime značilo da su svi oni koji to žele ostvariti, a ne mogu, ništa drugo nego obični robovi - nije li tako? Biti suveren znači da netko ne mora biti državljaninom ijedne zemlje, iz jednostavnog razloga jer ga je stvorila priroda, a ne država - što se osobito odnosi na Republiku Hrvatsku koja kao takva postoji tek od nedavno. To bi također značilo da je pravna fikcija poput Sabora sama sebi dodjelila pravo na viši autoritet od prirode kroz kojeg onima koji ne pristaju na to da budu kontrolirani, ili prevarom ili na silu nameće svoju volju - nije li tako? Kako se dakle nepostojanje ovakve mogućnosti ne bi moglo tumačiti na niti jedan jedini drugi način nego na onaj da smo svi u stvari robovi u vlasništvu nekoga ili nečega - ako je to slučaj, pitanje se ponavlja - kako hrvatski državljanin može postati suveren? Da li je hrvatski državljanin onaj koji od rođenja živi daleko od civilizacije u planinama na hrvatskom zemljopisnom području, i čije rođenje nikad nije nigdje službeno registrirano? Ako nije, koji je njegov status? Veoma je iznenađujuća činjenica da jako puno ljudi niti razumije što je novac, niti razumije kako on funkcionira. Postoji li ikakav zakon iz kojeg je jasno i precizno vidljivo da kuna, novčana jedinica Republike Hrvatske, nije samo obični bezvrijedni komad papira već na primjer gram zlata, gram srebra, kilogram pšenice ili neka druga količina bilo kakve materijalne vrijednosti? Kao i sve druge države na ovom planetu, i Republiku Hrvatsku u ovim teškim trenucima doslovce razjeda javni dug. U financijskom izvješću Hrvatske središnje banke za 2009 godinu, pod obvezama stoji "Novčanice i kovani novac u optjecaju". Ova vrsta obveze je naime jedina vrsta obveze u svijetu za koju nije određen vremenski rok u kojem se treba ispuniti. Po zakonu o Hrvatskoj Narodnoj Banci u kojem stoji "Uvođenje eura kao novčane jedinice", vidljivo je da euro uskoro kao nacionalna valuta stiže i u Hrvatsku. To međutim automatski znači da će dan uvođenja eura u Hrvatsku, za sve one koji u tom trenutku budu posjedovali kune, a ne budu pristali (što je njihovo nepovredivo pravo) na isplatu im originalnog duga nekakvim zamjenskim sredstvom - predstavljati dan naplate obveze Hrvatske središnje banke prema njima. Da bi prosječni hrvatski državljanin kao dužnik mogao isplatiti 100 kuna javnog duga, ili mora prodati dio vlastite imovine, ili mora odraditi neki posao. Jedan dan prije uvođenja eura u Hrvatsku, on se pojavio u Hrvatskoj Središnjoj Banci i isplatio 100 kuna javnog duga sa 100 kuna zarađenih uloženim radom na kopanju kanala. Dan poslije, kad se u Hrvatskoj središnjoj banci pojavi s novčanicom od 100 kuna, odnosno potvrdom o njihovoj obvezi prema njemu od 100 kuna, iz banke će izaći bogatiji za ono što predstavlja materijalnu garanciju koja stoji iza tog komada papira na kojem je odštampana znamenka 100. Što će - jasno i precizno, taj prosječni hrvatski državljanin primiti iz ruku službenika Hrvatske središnje banke i time obradovati svoju obitelj? Srebro, broncu, zlato, pšenicu, nešto slično, ili jedno veliko razočaranje u obliku nule? Prosječni hrvatski državljanin bi eventualno originalnu obvezu Hrvatske središnje banke prema njemu mogao i pristati zamijeniti nekakvom novom. Osim što je papirnata novčanica od 100 eura 10.000 centi, a 10.000 centi 100 eura; što je još 100 eura - jasno, točno i precizno, zakonom utvrđeno i garantirano - u zlatu, srebru, paprikama ili bilo kojoj drugoj materijalnoj vrijednosti? U Republici Hrvatskoj se koristi bankarski sustav poznatiji kao "bankarstvo djelomičnih rezervi", nije li tako? Ako to nije točno, koji je onda sustav u upotrebi? Kolika je danas obvezna djelomična rezerva? Ono što se da shvatiti proučavanjem tog sustava je da banke kao rezervu moraju držati samo dio koji nalaže zakon. Na primjer, ako je propisano da je obvezna rezerva 10%, onda banka na osnovu svake kune koju drži u rezervi može nekome posuditi 9 kuna. Je li to točno? Ako nije, po kojim onda pravilima banke nekome posuđuju novac? Banke čuvaju navedenu rezervu u obliku depozita kod Hrvatske središnje banke. Je li to točno? Ako nije, gdje onda banke drže svoje rezerve? To znači da ako je položen depozit od 100 kuna, banka može zadržati 10 kuna kao rezervu i nekome posuditi 90 kuna. Je li to točno? Ako nije, koji onda iznos banka nekome može posuditi? Da li je točno da kroz sustav u pitanju, banka može i zadržati u rezervi svih 100 kuna, i nekome posuditi još 900 kuna? Bankama je kroz sustav djelomičnih rezervi omogućeno 900 nekome posuđenih kuna iz prehtodnog pitanja jednostavno stvoriti kao obični računovodstveni zapis? Je li to točno? Ako nije, otkuda onda proizlazi iznos od 900 kuna? I da li se tu uopće radi o kunama, ili će se na uređaju za otkrivanje falsifikata upaliti crveni alarm jer je otkriven pokušaj krivotvorenja službene nacionalne valute? Ako se novac stvara na navedeni način, onda se slobodno može reći da je najveći dio, ako ne i sveukupna količina novca u optjecaju stvorena iz ničeg drugog nego iz običnog poteza olovkom po papiru ili mišem po ekranu računala. Je li to točno? Ako su gornja razumijevanja načina na koji bankarski sustav funkcionira točna, onda je najveći dio, ako ne i sveukupna količina novca u optjecaju stvorena kao kamatonosni dug prema bankama. No ako banke stvaraju samo glavnicu, otkuda proizlazi novac kojim se moraju platiti kamate? Ako je istina da se po otplati kredita, novac koji je kroz njih stvoren zatim uništava, onda to znači da banke konstantno moraju drugima posuđivati novac jer bi inače došlo do nestanka novčane ponude. Je li to točno? Što više banke kreditiraju druge, to je veći sveukupni iznos novca u optjecaju, a samim time i inflacija. Je li to točno? Ako banke prestanu drugima posuđivati novac, to znači da se količina novca u optjecaju smanjuje i stoga nastupa deflacija. Je li to točno? Vlada ne stvara novac nego ga posuđuje. Na posuđeni novac treba platiti kamate. Je li to točno? Porez je način na koji Vlada stvara prihod. Koji postotak od prikupljenog poreza odlazi za isplatu duga i kamata na novac kojeg je Vlada posudila? Vlada posuđuje sve više novca (kojeg također mora vratiti s kamatama) da bi otplatila kamate na već postojeće dugove. Je li to točno? Ako nije, na koji se onda način otplaćaju kamate? Ako je kroz dva prethodna pitanja - razumijevanje načina na koji sustav funkcionira ispravno, onda to znači da po pitanju duga Vlada nikako ne može vratiti i glavnicu i kamate. Također, ako je svrha poreza otplaćivanje navedenih kamatonosnih dugova, onda porez za ljude koji žive u Hrvatskoj ne predstavlja ništa drugo nego jednu vrstu ropstva. Nije li to točno? S poštovanjem, iskreno i bez predrasuda! Predsjednik Udruge Đurić Aljoša
