The Connection Between Trade and Liberty
Our debt-based economy

Every dollar in circulation is borrowed into existence. This means that every note that is in your wallet right now, someone somewhere is paying interest on it (i.e. the person who borrowed it into existence). This is a huge burden on society just to pay the interest on all of the debt in circulation. As long as credit is expanding, and interest rates are low, the economy will continue to grow. When the day comes that the debt burden becomes too great, there will be a giant sucking sound as all of the money in circulation is sucked out of the market and goes back into the banking system to temporarily satisfy the insurmountable debt burden (and there isn’t enough money in circulation to pay off all of the debt). When this happens there is only one way out: default. When enough people default on their debt, begin building their credit back again, and then subsequently begin borrowing again, then finally the economy will come back—we hope, at least to some degree.

They call this the boom-bust cycle and they say that it is the natural result of the free enterprise system, lol. They say they created the Federal Reserve System to eliminate this “natural part of the free enterprise system”, ha, ha. The reality is that the Federal Reserve System creates the boom and bust cycle, or at least makes it much worse than would naturally occur. The result is an environment where people can lose their life savings in a matter of a couple of months; foreclosure on their homes; 401k’s devalued, savings accounts devalued, wages devalued, etc. Meanwhile all of this wealth is transferred into the hands of a few people (the printing press owner and his friends).
How to escape the debt black hole

This system is a cancer that sucks us all into the black hole of debt and in the end, the bankers win and end up owning everything. So what if everyone suddenly decided to pay off all of their debt? There wouldn’t be enough money left in circulation to keep the economy going and everything would come to a screeching halt. It’s not possible to pay off all of the debt.
Imagine, however, if there were a new economy. One that would be supplemental to the existing debt based economy. One that would be independent of the Federal Reserve debt based system. One where wealth could not be transferred, or manipulated. Where the ones who benefit would be the ones who produce the goods or provided the services.
We used to be there–How do we get back

Stop borrowing Federal Reserve Notes.
Start accepting sound money for goods and services.

The result of this simple strategy, would be to become part of an expanding value-based economy, while at the same time unraveling oneself from the current web of debt. The goal of the libertytrade.net project is to create tools that will help enable the expansion of the sound money based economy and help people trade their way to liberty.

Thanks and I’ll see you on the road to liberty,
