The Colonizer's fortunes were gained and are kept via Real Estate, almost all of which was stolen from Indigeneous Peoples.In North and South America and many other places around the globe.

If the U.S. were to take the lead in restoring balance to the global economy the stolen land and resources could be accounted for and restitution could be made.

Here's how!

If Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac were nationalized since they are the lenders of last resort and if the dollars were allowed to float against other currencies soon the inflation would be stripped from the monetary and banking system, then the land could be returned to the native peoples in some kind of fashion more in harmony with a natural economy, one that's based in "Ecological Life Sustaining Values". In the process a new kind of banking and monetary system could be introduced, one that's based on actual human values rather than the land and resource theft of values that prevails today.

I don't like the gold and silver standards as outlined in the U.S. constitution, Gold and Silver are much to narrow to be useful as a major currency of account. They always lead to the theft of land and resources in order for the gold and silver to be ripped from the land such as has happened repeatedly in U.S and other colonized places, as is currently happening with the blood diamonds in West Africa and as is Petroleum in countries all over the world..

Of course it would take a major change in U.S. government policy in order to create such changes... might even require a coalition between conservatives and native american peoples, with support from indigeneous people from all over.

Bunk? I think not. If the present people claim to have a property right in land that lets land be turned into real estate, then they have to be able to show how and where that right came from. If they can't do that, then there is no way such a right can be justified. So if my ancestors had their land stolen and you are now occupying that land unless you can legally justify your possession of that land then you are at least guilty of receiving stolen property. It isn't just a legal issue, it's also a moral issue and it's the moral issue which must be settled first. Is there such a thing as "The Right of Conquest?" If there is then force rules and no rights exist at all. If not, then we need to figure out how to justify property rights where land and resources are concerned.

We need a lot of changes in other areas----this could just be one of them.

Oh, bunk. There are no such things as "native peoples." They all originally came from somewhere else. Perhaps we should make the Africans repay the Neanderthal man for taking over Africa. Oh, no, they can't. They're extinct. (sigh)

sounds like a plan but I would think it would need the backing of most regular people, too.
