Pronunciation
YAVA is pronounced (Yaw’-vuh).
Purpose of YAVA
The main purpose of YAVA is to organize and unite the Young Adult Voters of America in an effort to get them to vote to avoid to the national debt and the disaster it threatens. YAVA is non-profit. The idea is to get others involved without collecting any money. The second you start receiving money the IRS will be crawling all over you, and maybe the rest of us as well. Let each person pay his/her own way. A group could all chip in to pay for a newspaper ad, for example. We need influence over politicians.
As of 1-1-97 the only costs involved came out of the personal pockets of Forest Glen Durland.
Goals of YAVA
1. The long term goal is to save America from destruction at the hands of the billionaire banklords (bank owners).
2. The medium term goal is to force Congress to create money instead of borrowing it.
3. The short term goal is to get young voters to the voting booths, well aware of their power over Congress.
4. When representing or associating with YAVA, MAVA, Jolly Tax, KickDebt, and/or the GR Force, all participants agree to
a) Remain honest always and to tell the whole truth in the proper slant.
b) Never to use or involve immoral language or acts. We must deserve a reputation as decent, law abiding, peace loving people. The media will be observing. We can not beat the banklords with TV and newspapers.
c) Stay within the law, always. We can not beat the banklords in the courts.
d) Refrain from any violence. We can not beat the banklords with guns.
e) Support Jolly Tax and the goals of Jolly tax and its policy of a DFMS, a Debt Free Monetary System.
f) Support the goals of the GR Force.
5. We just want our country back.
6. Our only sensible course is to take control of Congress away from the Banklords and create our money.
7. Avoid collecting money. We do NOT need the IRS.
Miscellany
1. No big deal written charter is needed. Just remember these worthwhile goals and adhere to them.
2. See that everyone else adheres to them. If they don’t, ask them about it.
3. YAVA’s goals are copyrighted, so legally no one can use YAVA in any other way, and can not copy or change YAVA.
4. People using YAVA must follow the copyrighted guidelines.

Debt Free Monetary System
( DFMS )
Goals and Strategy for Our New Video Game
A Debt Free Monetary System (DFMS) creates money without debt for the general use of the people. Obviously, this creation of debt free money must be done by the people’s government, for, by its very nature, it must exclude private bankers. The main goal of a DFMS is to avoid the cost of money and the national debt, thus making this country much more prosperous with a healthy and vibrant economy. To accomplish this feat, we must remove the power of money from the bankers. Strategy includes outlawing private banks, fractional banking and compound interest; then returning the control of money to the people and imposing a spending control on Congress. From then on, eternal vigilance must be exerted to prevent our present disaster from ever happening again. This will best be accomplished through education. All high school and college graduates must demonstrate comprehension in the area of monetary science and debt free money.
Rules for playing this game
(so we can win)
1. First and foremost, abolish the Fed (Federal Reserve System), its debt money system and all its related rules called legislation.
2. Create a Debt Free Monetary System (DFMS). Return the sole power to create money to the government of us people by having Congress create money debt free through the U.S. Treasury Department as provided by our Constitution. The Bank of North Dakota must be the only exception. (They are honest players that already play this game.)
3. Establish BankGov, a people owned bank with free services. Only principal will be repaid. Outlaw all other banks, compound interest and fractional banking. This law includes private money. Strictly regulate people who loan their own money. The Bank of North Dakota must be the only exception, but allow only simple interest to be used.
4. By federal law, set a banker’s month to 20 days, and a banker’s year to 240 days. People must not be charged interest on days not in a normal work week. This law includes private money. Dovetailing loans to circumvent this law must be outlawed.
5. Install a spending limit on Congress by forcing them to examine all federal funding before it is approved and label it either productive, neuter or non productive. 99.9 percent of all non productive spending must be left for the states to legislate and fund, thus keeping Congress out of the pork business. (See the U-Mail letter "Congress Must Never Over-spend".) No fair cheating on the money. Congress will keep us out of debt this time.
6. Amend the Constitution to permit only our BankGov to create, issue and control money, including paper and coin cur-rency.
7. All of the above six points must be set into law at the same time. This is imperative. (A comprehensive, temporary law could hold the economy together and achieve this simultaneous effect until permanent details are worked out.)
The current budget mess of Congress is one of the biggest blunders in the history of our government. That mess need not be. When the above six points become law, most budget dilemmas will disappear. But those points must be set into law simultaneously. Then, and probably only then, money should be available for all productive needs, if Congress will come to its senses and create the proper environment.
Productive and Non Productive Spending.
Productive spending is money spent by Congress that will help the economy, or at least not slow it down.
Non productive spending is just that, and will only cause that amount plus expenses (and interest) to be paid out of our pockets by taxes. It is exploitation of the unreal. Unreal situations are created that cause unreal money to go from us real tax payers to real, thieving politicians. It is freebie handouts known as pork barrel. Not fair.
Neuter is that questionable area in between. Watch for loaded dice.
Productive Examples- not a tax burden; creates jobs, etc.
1. Development of natural resources, such as dams that produce electricity for sale, and federal bridges that charge toll.
2. Totally finance all public school districts. The minds of our children are our most valuable national asset and must be cared for.
3. Totally finance all public libraries to keep America’s minds open and learning. A thinking mind is productive and will protect our country.
4. Zero interest loans for homes and to cities for reasonable, public improvements, sewers and water systems.
Neuter - actually productive as they create jobs and lower public debt. Federal highways and dams.
Non Productive - causes taxes and slow economy - must be avoided by Congress. Two exceptions: politicians and military.
1. All politicians and military. We hire them to do our work, so we must pay them. There is no escaping taxes to pay these government workers. These must be the only exceptions.
2. The usual pork, bennies, and welfare, especially if it is graft.
3. Except for limited government workers, all non-productive expenditure must be left to the states to legislate. Zero percent loans for reasonable state projects would be available, but the people in that state would be obligated to repay it.

While eliminating the national debt and
drastically lowering the federal taxes, a Debt Free Monetary System requires a
new way of thinking
about finance and taxes.
The first new concept is in the method of financing our government and Congressional legislation. Under the DFMS (Debt Free Monetary System), when Congress needs money, it will simply order it issued by the U.S. Treasury Department, debt free. This process will very neatly eliminate the national debt before it occurs. We simply will not owe anyone even one dime for the creation of our money. Never again will there be a shortage of money because the fat cats crowded us out of our game.
The second new concept is the new concept of taxes, demanding a reversal of traditional thought, and one which you will certainly welcome and love. Instead of being levied to finance legislation, taxes will be meted to drain off excess money from the economy to avoid over heating. But thus collected, tax money must be sent back to the nothing from whence they came.
Taxes must be low and few, and they must
never be spent by Congress!
This will be unthinkable by today’s average politician. Nonetheless, this is the way of debt free money.
In an economy using a DFMS (Debt Free Monetary System), there should be
only one reason for taxes,
and that is to extract money from the economy when too much money is present, causing problems.
There should be only two main causes for the tax:
1. To pay for all government workers, military and government expenses. We must pay those we hire.
2. The result of non-productive spending by Congress. All pork will cause taxes. Beware!!
The operation of a Debt Free Money System (DFMS) is really quite simple. In fact,
anything complicated about money is usually a smoke screen the Fed is blowing to confuse everyone.
That need not be and should not be. KISS is the best motto: KISS - Keep It Short and Simple. I do not like kissing my money goodbye.
Economic Discoveries
The catastrophe that can happen when money does become a god and a commodity of exchange is readily apparent in America today. The banking system deployed by the Federal Reserve System contains destructive elements inherent in their system. I have adequate documentation, and am on the track to more, to support the following statements:
The Federal Reserve System is the worst financial and political scandal in American history, if not all history.
The Fed is neither Federal nor reserve, and is privately owned and privately operated in secret for private gain.
In analyzing the destructive elements deployed by the Fed, I have discovered a corollary and have formulated two theories. To make its existence known in more areas, the corollary has been given three names: Free Money Corollary, Basic Element of Economic Existence, and Basic Law of Economics. This basic corollary states simply that
Money can not cost money in a stable, democratic economy, for when one pays that interest charge for money, an inevitable price-wage spiral is instigated, causing what you call inflation. I defy you to talk your way around this corollary when discussing a stable economy. In brief, only principal need be repaid. It is quite sound and simple, actually. This necessitates, of course, free banking, where only principal is repaid. For, if money is to be free, there can be no interest, which demands that there be no private bankers. All banking must be done through our cost free bank. The name Bank-Gov is suggested, short for BankGovernment. This plan will very neatly control inflation, also. The two theories are called Triple Expo Factor and Time Warp Factor and graphically display our approaching disaster.
If money can not cost money, it follows then that
no economy can function at its best for the people
with the existence of privately owned banks.
Private banks can not exist without debt -
our debt.
Private banking must be outlawed!
The banking system currently in use today is a debt money system. History has shown that such a debt money system will eventually destroy its host. No one can run or hide from it. The only solution is to destroy the debt system before it destroys the kingdom. And it is so very simple to do: Simply have Congress create our money instead of borrowing it. Then outlaw private banking, for whoever, or whatever, controls the money, controls all people and all things.
Free banking and a DFMS (Debt Free Monetary System) will totally reverse the present economic collapse. Never again will there be a shortage of money for financing, and never again will up front fees drain the life out of start up businesses. There will no end to unlimited venture capital for those who realistically qualify. Plus, that investment capital will be interest free. That alone, will boost this economy so greatly that you guys and gals will be able to compete sensibly with foreign competition once again. This will help put the small farms back on the map and undo the harm to farming done the last 200 years by the banking system.
Closing
In closing, absorb this bit of philosophy:
Money is a measure, not something for sale.
Money is merely a way of measuring value, and is not the value itself. Money is the mental part of an accounting system, but money is not the paper that one writes on. Value is in humanity and the soil, not in the money that measures the value. Money is not riches, but is merely a right to riches. Riches are real things, not unreal money. Try eating money.
Money belongs to us people and therefore can be issued only by us people in our society. Private bankers and the Federal Reserve System are not social entities, but are private and therefore can not issue money. I can issue tickets to trade for my own goods, but I can not issue tickets to trade for someone else’s goods.
Our government can create money,
but private bankers can not.
In the book, Money Is Unreal, six essays explain this item: Here’s What’s Happening, In the Beginning, Farmer’s Credit Tickets, Economic Musical Chairs, Difference Between Money, and Within Our Means.
Since the concept of a Debt Free Monetary System without billionaire banklords acting like feudal lords will be inconceivable to the average politician, we people must exert pressure on them to see the way, our way, the way of us voters. There is only one avenue of approach to a solution left to us people, but fortunately it is practical and powerful. Simply contact your Congressional Senator and Representative and demand that Congress create needed money and never borrow again. If they do not, recall them from office and vote in someone who will. YOU HAVE THAT POWER! Let them know that they are working for you!
Congress creating our money will
cut the billionaire banklords right in two at the belt,
exposing their nasty fraud for all to see and understand.
For when you folks notice that
our federal government can be financed without debt and taxes,
you will ask why we even have a national debt.
When you notice that there is always
plenty of free money for reasonable purposes,
you will ask why the shortage and high rates and fees.
When America starts asking questions, the Fed is dead.
If in doubt, check the documentation.
Oh, yes. You must register and vote. Politicians are smart enough to check the voter rolls. If you name is not there, they will know you are merely blowing off steam and will forget you even called. And please note: Congress does not act. Congress reacts. Your voice does count.
You are the American government.
So do it!
People often ask about my credentials. I could go into a long spiel, but it is insignificant. It matters not who I am. What matters is: Have I written the truth? I hope my efforts will reach my people and start minds investigating. For,
When American minds cease to think,
America is dead.
But when America starts to question,
The Fed is dead.
Below is a Debt FREE Monetary System in a Table.
The inclusion of currency in the unreal column demonstrates that currency merely represents unreal money or value.
