: Ah, Tau, Perhaps only the faint echos of Rudyard Kipling as
: our own 'foolish finger goes wobbling back to the fire...':
: (Note the gun control passage...fascinating!)
: THE GODS OF THE COPYBOOK HEADINGS: As I Pass through my
: incarnations in every age and race, I make my proper
: prostrations to the Gods of the Market-Place. Peering
: through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall.
: And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them
: all.
: We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each
: in turn That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would
: certainly burn: But we found them lacking in Uplift,
: Vision, and Breadth of Mind, So we left them to teach the
: Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.
: We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
: Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the
: Market Place; But they always caught up with our progress,
: and presently word would come That a tribe had been wiped
: off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.
: With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly
: out of touch, They denied that Moon was Stilton; they
: denied she was even Dutch. They denied that Wishes were
: Horses: they denied that a Pig had Wings. So we worshipped
: the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.
: When the Cambrian measures were forming, they promised
: perpetual peace. They swore, if we gave them our weapons,
: that the wars of the tribes would cease. But when we
: disarmed they sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
: And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:'Stick to the
: Devil you know."
: On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller
: Life (Which started by loving our neighbor and ended by
: loving his wife)\ Till our women had no more reason and the
: men lost reason and faith And the Gods of the Copybook
: Headings said:"The wages of sin is Death."
: In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
: By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul; But,
: though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money
: could buy, And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
: "If you don't work you die."
: Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued
: wizards withdrew, And the hearts of the meanest were
: humbled and began to believe it was true That All is not
: Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four -- And the
: Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once
: more.
: As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man --
: There are only four things certain since Social Progress
: began -- That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow
: returns to her Mire, And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger
: goes wobbling back to the Fire;
: And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world
: begins When all men are paid for existing and no man must
: pay for his sins, As surely as Water will wet us, as surely
: as Fire will burn, The Gods of the Copybook Headings with
: terror and slaughter return.
: -- Rudyard Kipling, 1919

The latter should give stirring to all Lilliputians in doubt, that by banding together with silver,-the goal, would give power back to them, with gulliver finally in tow. Sorry, just a little poetry.
Was envisioning Mr. Rothschild as the Sphynx of which the power comes,-given him by the WAAD, or "Council of four Lands," that Daniel, Shadrack, Meshack & Abedego as the four Merchants of Babylon managed then in (Dan. 1 vs. 47,)-with the Eye of Horus in the 13th Penthouse Suite atop the 12 levels of Eleusis, looking down on the lower levels of eight, making up say 5 billion of souls, the top three levels control. But $500 Trillon in Fed Note I.O.U.s for our trading our future, that's pretty hard to take.
