Re: Theory of beliefs, belief fields

Fighting money laundering may have unwanted and dire consequences. If
underground economy money from drug dealing is not washed within fiscally,
business frameworks, it becomed disposable income within the same
underground economies. Here we circunscribe underground economy as the
market for illegal goods, not considering other definitions of
**underground** that would include non fiscally credited economic units,
not nationally accounted economic units, personal banking activities [in
Mexico stratup angels are called agiotistas, treated and considered like
medieval illegal lenders, which would be a natural outcome from a costly
and inefficient law system], household economic activities, prosumption,
informal jobs and others. In this basic model of legal vs illegal goods,
money laundering can be defined as creating the illusion that monetary
flows from illegal activities are derived from legal market activities. In
this duality monetary purchase power can only be spent in either legal or
illegal goods. By laundering money, those flows become internalized by the
legal market set, instead of turning into purchase power within the
illegal market set. The more money laundering is fought the more purchase
power has to be spent in illegal goods. So moneys dont reach banks, for
instance, but are kept as cash and used for consumption that cannot be
fiscally tracked. Assuming that this purchase power actually accrues and
accumulates, in order to remain hidden has to be spent in highly efficient
consumption goods, giving an incentive for illegal markets to thrive. Also
accruing illegal cash, by remaining liquid, will have an impact in
inflation. On the other hand, considering that interests and cash balances
are not taxed, if their accumulation is hidden or tolerated creates
destabilizing wealth wells, liquid fortunes that by their mere existence
modify the decision of market and non market actors, including the
possiblity to affect other macroeconomic variables the moment those funds
are moved nationally or internationally or even spent in the legal market.
Again, it brings an incentive to illegal market actors to use that
purchase power in illegal goods, the more expensive the better. Of these
markets, obviously the most important is that of slavery. Considering that
drugs have widespread demand and are consummed often and in small
quantities, and that exotic drugs are almost nonexistent (the more willing
consummers of exotic new drugs would be the first to fall to mistakes and
be reduced in numbers), drug money falling in the hands of big players,
like owners of distribution means, constantly bribed officials, field
owners..., will be spent in what they DONT need if it cannot be laundered
safely. So drug dealers wont spend in drugs, they can be paid in kind and
engage in bartering if they want drugs, but will spend in _slavery_, women
trafficking, murder, stolen art, human experimentation... even in an
_irrational_ **good** like destruction (different to weapon dealing),
including psychopathic **goods** which are easy to speculate in fantasy
but with enough money can be turned into unwanted realities AND, most
important, into ultimately irrational consumption of goods and services
derived from irrational and anachronistic religious beliefs. So it can be
inferred that the more successful is money laundering in finding drug
dealing money laundering, (even if that money can be totally sterilized),
the more incentives will be given to spend in women trafficking and
slavery, considering that the sale of people in a free, rich society
should be considered the most punishable and despicable, therefore
commanding the more purchase power as the **price** of people will be very
high. Other considerations and analysis can be brought to bear to make a
plausible ordering of illegal markets, but women trafficking and slavery
should be considered on principle as the priority market and alternative
to spend unlaundered drug money. It can also be argued that unlaundered
money because of more efficient methods to discover the source of illegal
funds, can be quickly distributed and turned back into small quantities
difficult to spot by tax authorities, adding a new incentive to spend in
high luxury illegal goods and services, giving in turn an incentive for
people to cross the line and participate in such illegal markets, _in
turn_ increasing the percentage if the population that has engaged in
illegality and would be willing to engage in further illegality. Several
propensities can be inferred in this basic model, some of which can be
econometrically correlated to very interesting social and personal
characteristics... In sum, fighting drug money and accumulated drug money
or fighting drugs through white collar activities will bring an increase
in slavery and women trafficking activities.

It is of utmost importance for Churches to make it clear that supernatural
beings of divine origin contacting people through voices are human
telepaths with human motivations. There is no reason why divine beings
should not manifest themselves openly and undoubtfully! Their
manifestations not explainable by any phenomenon associated to direct mind
to mind communications, like the appearance of strange odours, haloes or
bodily sensations or even short term hallucinations, difficult to sustain
over a long period but which can be very effectively transmitted.
