Jim Capo - The Luscious Lucre: Money Exposed

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, August 3, 2007, 4 pm PST

This Week's Show
Guest: Mr. James Capo


To Hear the Show go to BBSRadio.com

For most of us money means more that we really want. Security, unfolding possibilities stretching out into a future that brings delicious excitements and pleasure instead of pain.. Without it the world is fraught with fear. For Americans money is that folding green stuff; the line of numbers in our accounts; the knowledge that the plastic we use will keep working.


Money, that stuff the provides the useful tools of fungibility, stability of value, and ease of storage, is essential to the present system. But the present system is dead, barely twitching as the last, vestiges of value are sucked out. What will Americans do when they realize that their money was a lie?


The idea of money began as iconic representations of commodities; shards of pottery on which was inscribed the things counted. Sheep, cheeses, and other commodities were among these. That lasted about as long as it took some people to figure out they could make their own. Since then currency has moved through several incarnations as outlined in this poem. (Nice when you can get some real utility out of one of there.)


No. 51 From Shards to Light - for John Hix

From an insight of convenience they drew marks on shards of clay
The goats and sheep and cheeses thus were counted up each day.
And trader's lives were better, as barter was replaced.
With mites of fired pottery that bore each items face.


The marks and shards were money; more fungible to hold
So trade and space were easier; what was owned was sold.
But then a cunning taker thought to make his own
The shards went out of favor, replacing coin wrot gold


Issued first by temple and then anointed King
So fungible the medium it built a wealth in things.

Accumulation beckoned the greedy onto thrones.
Through money all were shackled, the people could be owned.

A flow of current holdings, in increments of gold
Created flow of currency, and ever more was sold.


Price now marked in shiny bits they trusted not to lie.
But men saw ways of stealing from weight the coins would buy.
So England then replaced them, their coins had reeded edge.
Clipping and the shaving, made obvious instead.


Money called and promised, so fluid in its scope.
Kings and those in power wrote promises on notes.

Temptations to debasement, temptations to inflate.
Became the real foundation of the governmental state.


And money still enticed us, and draws in those who steal.
Finessing, redefining, the units once were real.

Now with no foundation in sheep or even cheese
The money is all funny, and only Kings are pleased.


The flow of human commerce, so easy to abuse.
Is still the form adopted, that all of us must use.

We count up paper icons, inscribed with those now gone.
We trust in those who make them, despite the fact their wrong.


We need the fluid functions that money can provide.
While all the self anointed kings count, and so decide.



Those in power, from kings to presidents, have always used the system to steal. This has never been more true that in the America of the last century.


Fiat money, that endlessly self multiplying stuff has allowed the FED to perpetuate a scheme so outrageous that every Ponzi-scheming con man is dumb struck with envy; has enabled government, and those corporations, like the FED, to spend and trade us into penury.


This summer we are approaching the culmination of the plans so long in the making as such instruments as Blackstone Group, LP finish off the job.


But what do we do when the banks stop printing funny money? How we we buy that loaf of bread? How do we survive? There are answers and there have been warnings. We will be talking about those this Friday on The Spiritual Politician with Jim Capo.


Jim is a successful businessman who became aware of the 'game' while sunning his own business in North Carolina. Now, he spends his time awakening Americans to the hazards all of us face. From 1985-1986 he worked in Japan with the company's joint venture partner, Polyplastics, LTD. This was during the first main wave of Japanese companies establishing production facilities in the United States in order to increase market share for their products, while avoiding calls for trade sanctions to offset the ballooning trade imbalance between the then two largest economies of the world.

In 1988, recognizing the business opportunities brought on by the expansion of Japanese manufacturing into the United States, he and two co-workers at Celanese left the company to form an injection molding company, Team One Plastics, Inc. The privately held company has grown successfully from $0 of sales to over $12 million dollars of annual revenue with 100 employees located in plants in Albion, Michigan and Greensboro, North Carolina – the venture that brought him to North Carolina.

The market niche success of his own company notwithstanding, Mr. Capo has long been concerned about the general plight of America's manufacturing and economic base as well as the continued encroachments by both national and international regulation on the free-enterprise system. It was during his work to defeat North American Free Trade Agreement that he became aware of the John Birch Society, which he joined in 1993.


In 2003, Mr. Capo sold off his stake in Team One Plastics; now he travels and educates people to the problems and writes.


Many have worried; many have spoken out. It is time to take those warnings seriously.


Americans need to find solutions to the problems that are in our future; Americans are exploring those solutions in alternative approaches to exchange, some online and others in local script. Free Exchange, labor exchange, and other community based systems are taking the issue of money back in time.


Trade and commerce can be honorable; they can also destroy the basis of honor and shackle a free people when they are not carried out with transparency and using clean, simple tools that reject the fractional banking that has converted American prosperity into a swamp of greed.


Join us Friday to explore what is coming – and what we can do about it. Listen to the Spiritual Politician this Friday at 4pm Pacific Time. You need to know.




What the Show is about and being a Spiritual Politician

Bringing government into alignment with the Lessons of Jesus:

The focus of our show is how to bring government into alignment with truth of our spiritual nature. So America started with the idea we are all, inherently free. We are free to choose, free to live, to breath, and to live our lives as we see fit. Government does not own us; government is just a contractor, providing service.

That framework is in alignment with the spiritual truth that each of us connects to God directly, needing no agency as an intermediary. To be free is to be free in the spirit and so in the flesh that temporarily holds the spirit.

When Thomas Jefferson said we were all possessed of inherent rights, existing before government he was extending a spiritual truth into a civic form. It is that Mission Statement from the Declaration of Independence we need to keep in mind.

Because we are free and reject, as did Christ, the use of deceit, manipulation or violence we need to be conscious about our relationships with others and find ways to grow into the sense of connection and community that makes us One in Him.

This is especially true for Christians but it is true for everyone else as well.

Nearly every major spiritual viewpoint enunciates the idea that we are connected to each other and should be good to each other. Christians just have an even more exacting mission. Christians are to love every one, treating them as they would Jesus.

Jesus was very clear about how we were to treat others. He did not say that it was alright to be abusive, deceitful, and violent if we used government as our tool and agent. There was no exception, He wanted all of our hearts, minds and souls. Christ did not lay out any plan of government, but left it to the conscience of the individual, the same way He connects to each of us.

We are Americans but we are also members of a human family that connects us to something truly wonderful and immense.

So our job here at the Spiritual Politician is to look at Government as a human tool we use every day. We need to consider if government is working in a way that speaks that common understanding about our connections to each other and, if it is not, we need to change it.

Americans have had many successes over the last 231 years since our founding and, learning from both mistakes and successes we can consider that question. So here at the Spiritual Politician we look at the truth behind of rhetoric.

Given what is going on today in Government what we may decide to do it reboot the whole system.

To provide the examples of what has gone right and what has gone very wrong we here at the Spiritual Politician have put together several different kinds of segments you will hear on our show from time to time.

Art Ogawa - Making Life Better and More Secure

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, July 27, 2007, 4 pm PST

This Week's Show
Guest: Dr. Arthur Ogawa



The economy and politics today continues the following disturbing trends. If Bush and those trends make you nervous you need to meet Art and find out about Kaweah Co-op.


Following the lead of Halliburton Hedge Funds and other questionable ventures are beginning to relocate off shore. This provides immunization for possible liability when the bottom falls out. Pensions, annuities, and other investments are at risk.


Never have Americans carried such a weight of debt. Never has it been more difficult for them to simply tread water.


Nearly all Americans with phones are receiving daily calls from mortgage refinance companies. Today I received 5 such calls. Two different offers for refinancing options appeared as ads today on the opening page for Yahoo.

Never has our future been less secure though we have never paid more for what was billed as 'security.'


What is government offering as safety?


Today states like New Hampshire are being threatened by Homeland Security for the offense of refusing to comply with the REAL ID.


George Bush has begin using Executive Orders to enact edicts that he can use to flout the law. The direction of his orders is fascism.


George Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was part of a plot to overthrow the government of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a right-wing military coup in 1934.


That Bush Conspiracy was confirmed in Congressional Hearings. Strangely, no action was taken.


Nothing about us is as persistent as family culture. You drink it in with your mother's milk.


How secure are you and your family right now?


Today Americans have no savings; we live from pay check to pay check.


Your local grocery store has enough food for two days.


Much of that food comes from off shore or is transported long distances.


What would your community be like if the shelves of those grocery stores were empty?


Food the originates from off shore is more likely to carry diseases and have been impacted by toxic conditions.


Where is the food you will eat next week NOW?


Hurricane Katrina taught us that FEMA and the Federal government may take money in taxes but they will not deliver the services and security we thought we were buying.


The bottom may fall out at any moment. That is where you are today.


That said, what real action can you take to make your family, your neighborhood, and your community more secure, healthier, and less dependent on all things that are harmful or must come from a distance?


There are answers.. All challenges life offers come with unsuspected opportunities. Emergencies make us focus on what really matters in life. What really matters to you? That new cell phone that will be history in six months? Or the voice you hear on the other end when someone you love answers?


People across the U. S. are already adopting solutions that enrich their lives, allowing them to live healthier and know where and how what they will be eating is being raised; that those they love will be happy and cared for.


Families and communities are coming together to accomplish good things. So can you.


Arthur Ogawa is a resident of Three Rivers, Tulare County, California. With his family, he has lived there since 1993, immigrating from the San Francisco Bay area.


Born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Art had a career as an experimental physicist (PhD, Physics, UC Berkeley, 1978), working at facilities such as the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Fermi National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Commuting kept him from being the kind of active father he wanted to be to their two children.


So in 1986 he turned to technical consulting in order to work at home with his wife Marian Goldeen. He has worked as an electronic publishing consultant for some 20 years, serving clients such as Apple, HP, NASA, and Boeing. Their children became home schooled. Today their daughter and son develop Web comics, music, and painting as part of their continuing self-directed learning.


The family achieved a closeness they never believed possible but had always wanted. They also got out of debt entirely. They are part of a community that helps each other. Art is now working on making their home more energy efficient.


When Art and his family moved to Three Rivers Art became active in the Kaweah Food Co-op. Starting with the food they eat, now far more locally grown and so more dependable and healthy, they are working on more ways to make their community better.


The Kaweah Food Co-op of Three Rivers, Tulare County, California, is a group of some 30 families who work cooperatively each month to provide high-quality, cost-effective food for their families and the community. Meeting once every four weeks, the Co-op distributes food obtained from UNFIW and local sources on a non-profit basis. That has provided a basis that can now meet other needs that their community and other communities across the U. S. did not imagine would be necessary a decade ago.


Life is about values and quality for them. What is it for you?


Community activism is individual investment in the community where you live. Doing it yourself, after all, is where America came from. In the world of America's Founders government budgeting meant getting together once a year to go over that budget line by line. Everyone could see how the pennies would be spent and by whom. That is real American government; the people doing it themselves voluntarily. Today most fire departments are still run by local volunteers.


We think of the world as divided into 'for profit' and 'government.' But the history of America's people and communities is really the history of cooperation that yields profits not counted in fiat money but in far richer benefits. Community involvement builds deep bonds, enduring trust, and the kind of capital that lasts.


Across the country people are reconsidering how their needs might be better met and they are doing it themselves.


Co-ops are one way people do that. Kaweah in Three Rivers strives to find and develop local sources for food, also on the agenda are solutions for problems that revitalize the essence of American Community and leave families and neighbors better, not worse, off.


Art works to help local small farms keep going in a world of factory farms that would otherwise gobble them up. Small, family farms produce food you can trust and great community.


In small towns, big cities, and in the suburbs, people like Art and Kaweah Co-op are looking for solutions to looming problems. With back yard gardens, co-ops, and exchange they are changing how they eat and live. They use consensus, finding common ground, and caring. Working together works both to solve problems now and prevent problems in the future.


Knowing your neighbors is the best insurance you can buy today, a security that you probably don't yet have but that you can learn about from Art and Kaweah.


Their Co-op dates back 25 years, and some of the founding members are still active.


Communities across the country are assessing the present political reality and doing the same thing, working towards local independence in every way.

Connie Ruffley - The Real Ronald Reagan

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, July 20, 2007, 4 pm PST

This Week's Show
Guest: Dr. Katherine Albrecht

Dr. Katherine Albrecht is the director of CASPIAN (Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering), an organization she founded in 1999 to advocate free-market, consumer-based solutions to the problem of retail privacy invasion. Her website is Spy Chips.


Katherine is widely recognized as one of the world's leading experts on consumer privacy and will be updating us on the continued campaign to tear down the barriers of privacy that we all assume exist between us and the rest of the world.

The weapon of choice in the campaign against you and your family is the RFID, a tiny device that excites industry and should frighten you into action.


These tiny intelligence devices will make it unnecessary for the police to open your trunk, wallet or purse. They will know what is in there. From our money to all of the items we buy the use of 'spychips' could well end the privacy that Americans have taken for granted as part of their God-given rights.


Government and business are walking into a world of Big Brotherism hand and hand. It furthers the interests of corporations to know what you buy, for now much, when and in conjunction with what other items. This is valuable information that will be made available to their partner corporations, who can then fine tune their profiles on each of us. Government will be able to ascertain when items change hands by location, global positioning is also included in the design potentials. This opens up new governmental income streams for taxing items when they change hands.


This new form of income clear the way for a flat tax, a form of theft far more oppressive than Americans ever imagined even the IRS could be.


Chipping of your person could, conceivably, become a means of enforcing restrictions on every kind of activity. You are, after all government property, only on loan to you. The RFID is the nail in the coffin for the Constitution. You need to know.


Dr. Albrecht, the author of "Spychips: How Major Corporations Plan to Track your Every Move with RFID," presents the stark reality of what the future may hold for all of us.

Alison Weir - Peace in Palestine and the World

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, July 13, 2007, 4 pm PST

This Week's Show
Guest: Alison Weir


Alison Weir is committed to the vision of an America that champions peace, living peace with others and so creating a future that can assume both peace and prosperity as a fact of life. To accomplish that goal we need to understand the history of conflict in the Middle East and move forward to an agenda that finds solutions to ongoing conflict, identifying the wrongs done and providing justice that heals the wounds of that conflict.

That process begins with the truth, rejecting the mythologies and rationalizations used to justify generations of reactive behavior that has impacted uncounted millions of lives.

Palestine is occupied territory. So is America as long as we, the people, do not have the truth that enables us to take action that heals the breeches of trust that now divide us one from another across all lines.

In 2004 Ms. Weir was inducted into honorary membership of Phi Alpha Literary Society, founded in 1845 at Illinois College. The award cited her as a: "Courageous journalist-lecturer on behalf of human rights. The first woman to receive an honorary membership in Phi Alpha history."

"Ms. Weir presents a powerful, well documented view of the Middle East today. She is intelligent, careful, and critical. American policy makers would benefit greatly from hearing her first-hand observations and attempting to answer the questions she poses. This is an intellectual, thought-provoking, and worthwhile presentation." - - Thomas Campbell, Former US Senator, Dean of Haas School of Business, University of California, and Director, California Department of Finance.

Alison established If Americans Knew to keep American informed on breaking events.


The Problems Americans face that Alison Weir can help you understand:

Why the mainstream media is failing to give Americans the truth about Israel and Palestine.

How US foreign aid to Israel is killing innocent people and enabling a train of circumstance that could lead to world war.

Who is profiting from genocide?

How we can exit from the Grids that now doom our children to ever more lies and violence.

Rep. Jim Guest: Bringing together Americans to oppose the Real ID, Fascism American style

With the Host of the Spiritual Politician
Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

Friday, July 6, 2007, 4 pm PST

This Week's Show
Guest: Rep. Jim Guest


Jim Guest was elected to the Missouri House of Representatives in 2002 with the class of 90 new Representatives. This large class was a result of term limits being voted in by the citizens of Missouri.

A graduate of the University of Missouri-Rolla he holds a B. S. degree in Mechanical Engineering and an M. S. Degree in Engineering Management. After twelve years in Aerospace with Douglas Aircraft in California he went into business for himself in Northwest Missouri.

Jim is an active member of his church and his community. As a state legislator he knew immediately that action needed to be taken to oppose the Real ID. The movement that springs from that is bringing together Americans from all over the country to oppose the latest link in the shackles that are intended to convert American into a feudal state.

According to Jim Guest this is a completely nonpartisan issue, with supporters split nearly evenly between Republican and Democrat. Guest is, himself a Republican who is supporting Ron Paul for the presidential nomination of his party.

Representative Guest will let you know what you can do to turn back this imminent threat to your sovereignty as an American and a program that moves power not to the Federal level but to the international level as an adjunct of the North American Union.

Now, we can see the outline of the plan to turn America into a plantation as the dots connect to shackle every one of us.

Despite its name and the smooth arguments advanced the Real ID is Real Fascism. Starting in just three years the Federal government intends to make it impossible for you, an American, to open a bank account, travel on a plane, collect Social Security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service.

The House of Representatives has already approved a standalone version of the Real ID That proposal was covertly inserted through a bill on military spending. This is being rushed into law even as Americans awaken to the danger they face from their own government.

Americans are fighting back. Missouri Representative Jim Guest said, “enough,” a year ago and began working on a coalition to keep the Real ID from moving Americans ever closer to the Real Matrix. Across the country today 26 states have enacted legislation refusing to cooperate with the program and as of now twelve other states have resisting legislation either in committee or ready for a vote. An organization to oppose the Real ID was started by Rep. Guest several months ago. That organization is called, Legislators Against the Real ID.

What is happening in your state? You need to know.

Are you ready to become the occupant of a cell in the Matrix? If not, you need to know and take action.
