During the run-through of the money bag, a few get hold of part of it. As the money bag passes by, it leaves behind it a vacuum. This vacuum tends to suck all that money held by the ones who took it from the bag. The boom is the money bag passing by. The bust is being in the vacuum at the tail of the money bag. This is today. Three possibilities: 1) either you follow the money bag, riding its tail wind, hands clasped like a vice, that clamping device, used for holding two pieces together, around the money you took from the bag. 2) You let the money go, note by note, coin by coin and returns to where you were standing before the money bag came by. 3) You think ahead: and think over: giving today's position, speed and size, of the money bag, where the money bag is going to pass by in say 6, 12 or 24 months then you position yourself there ready to grab the money out of it. To do that you have to accept the theory of the money bag run-through. Accept that some of the money you pulled out the money bag is not going to be yours in the months. It is up to you to manage how much money you have to give to the vacuum left in the trail of the money bag, so that you survive the months with no money bag on sight. Once you acept all that, things are much simpler and easier to deal with without much despair. BUT REMEMBER: Treat every single coin or bill that you are holding as very precious. I know it is difficult, when you winess things like the old lady you saw. But you never know what the program that runs the mpovement that money bag is planning.

The money bag moved at donkey speed after WWII. As always, it was difficult to take money out of the bag. But giving the speed it was passing by, you could figure out a way. Many did. They had, fresh in their memories, the vacuum of the last money bag run-through, a.k.a, the Great Depression. As a result of the money bag run (post WWII)lots of people, were born without never experiencing a vacuum situation. They even don't have a clue what a vacuum is. They've got the money but never even think where it came from. Call it the clueless rich. Bureaucrats, civil servants, unemployed, universities' caste, farmers, blue collars, whole classes of people created, nursed and raised out of the money bag run-through of the post-war period. The whole 'democratic' system is based on having a little bit that was taken out of the money distributed to everyone. The whole system has knowledge of the past. Give a little to everyone and pretty soon everyone has a cut of the deal and has no reason to "burn the desk". Hey!, don't even think about shuffle those papers for left to right. It will upset the whole scheme and my cut will be affected! But slowly, almost imperceptible, things started to change. For illustration sake look to Europe: There is a constant danger of the whole thing being upset. They didn't want an EU made out Brazils an Argentinas. They didn't want masses on the streets demanding table changed. They created the Euro set targets for deficits and inflation. It won't solve their problem but at least make it more manageable. 'Purchase' markets for their production help them keep going. It won't make them richer. But it makes them at a stage that they don't have to pedal the bike too hard to keep in the same place. Result: stability. The US and Asia is a different story. I am going to move flats today and hope to have time in the afternoon to come back to include the rest of the world into the picture.
