The ultimate confession of that money is seen as an irrelevance of zero value. In principle the assassination of the idea of bartering and trading, pricing and value, demand and supply, valuable and non-valuable.
If I stand in line at the supermarket and then find I am too short on money for all thwe stings on my arms - I do not conclude that I must put back some things, no - I simply take some leafs of paper , write "banknote" and a wanted number on them, and then "pay" with these. No cashier in any store would ever accept that. But politicians demand to do right like this all the time. Because they know $h!t about the essence of money, and are clueless on how a producing economy is run. Gamers know this trick. They call it "infinite money cheat" or "god mode". Doing so spoils the game. Doing so ruins the world.

The whole stageplay has everything and all to do with it.

Seems so.
Also, some words are now forbidden to be used by agencies. http://www.iflscience.com/policy/the...e-seven-words/ Ideologically-driven censorship reminds me of George Orwell's "1984" "Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end, we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”

There's been one thing that keeps tripping up Trump and his minions: cold, hard facts. Even when Trump or his minions are actually caught in a lie or gross misrepresentation, they seem to think all they have to do is shriek "Fake News!!" and they are shielded from reality. Pity there is so much evidence of their deceits due to nagging little things like video and audio recording. Its really, really hard for something to be "fake" if the "real" is there to be seen or heard; just ask this Trump-appointed mook, who happens to be an official diplomatic representative of our country, and who got caught not only lying outright in denying something he had stated previously, he also got caught lying about his lie and trying to foist it off as "Fake News!!"; I guess the stupidity, ignorance, and duplicity really does trickle down in the Trump administration:
Trump’s ambassador to the Netherlands just got caught lying about the Dutch -- https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.748578ec57e8 Gives a whole new twist to the words "ugly American"... I kinda like the final two paragraphs in the article: Quote:

No hoax, August. The EPA under Pruitt has already changed words Trump dislikes, months ago. Now censorship is spreading to other agencies.
Reuters: "Employees at the Environmental Protection Agency, the Interior Department, the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) have seen directives from the newly minted leadership seeking to limit how they communicate to the public, according to multiple sources. The moves have reinforced concerns that Trump, a climate change doubter, could seek to sideline scientific research showing that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels contributes to global warming, as well as the career staffers at the agencies that conduct much of this research." Independent: "The report is the latest episode where the Trump administration has apparently tried to ban certain terms or words, notably climate change. • In August, the UK-based Guardianreported that the staff at the U.S. Department of Agriculture had been told they must use the term "weather extremes" instead of "climate change." • In September, The Washington Postreported a former Trump campaign aide in charge of vetting Environmental Protection Agency grants instructed EPA grant officers to eliminate references to "climate change" in the subject in solicitations." And so on. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN15822X https://www.reuters.com/article/us-u...-idUSKBN1EB014 https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...nder-diversity http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a8113996.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/...ort/957996001/ @August I do not want to anger you, or impose something to you (would not be successfull anyway i know ), but i find this alarming. Maybe it's all not so bad as it looks? I really don't know for sure, but for me this all fits togehter in a bad way, or so i think.

I heard a report on the CDC matter yesterday where it was suggested the imposition of a ban on certain words was not a 'top down' act but an effort by some in the CDC to try and avert projects and initiatives from being dismissed or halted out of hand by Trump and his minions because they saw certain 'trigger' words; its sort of like you'd like to extend or start a program, but if you do use certain words or phrases known to be anathema to the Trump administration, either by the administration directly and explicitly proscribing those words or phrases, or felt to be even possibly be taboo to the administration's ideology, you might have an otherwise broadly beneficial program terminated or not started at all just because of the 'trigger'. It is sad when the free flow of ideas and solutions is clogged with the petty and narrow prejudices...

I mean can you show me some actual proof of any of this? Some published documents, written orders, covert video, Wikileaks, anything? Anonymous sources quoted by hostile media organizations, who then quote each other (half your links quote the same WP story), imo really aren't something that one should put much stock into.
