FED "infinite" quantitative easing

The Only Profession Who Drove Jesus to Violence, we need to reveal the dirty secrets of bankers who make more money if you fail, and more money out of nothing, in an infinite way (sic) QE3.

(NaturalNews) This is it, folks: the final chapter of America's great financial blowout has begun. The Federal Reserve's decision to announce "infinite" quantitative easing has now put us all on the path of infinite money creation. With up to $85 billion in monthly money creation -- including $40 billion a month in purchases of mortgage-backed securities -- the Fed is now wholly committed to the creation of new fake money to cover old fake debts. Mathematically, this financial death spiral can only end in sheer catastrophe.

This massive money creation tactic is the Fed's last-ditch plan to desperately try to save the economy. "I think the country should have panicked over what the Fed is saying that we have lost control," said Ron Paul, "and the only thing we have left is massively creating new money out of thin air, which has not worked before, and is not going to work this time."

Peter Schiff added, "This is a disastrous monetary policy; it's kamikaze monetary policy." (End Of the American Dream)

And he's right. It's suicide. It's also highly offensive to anyone who can actually do math... which, sadly, isn't that many people these days.

Steal from the poor to give to the rich

Quantitative easing, you see, is essentially the Federal Reserve creating money and then handing it to the richest banks. Meanwhile, all that new money floating around erodes the value of the dollars in the hands of the working taxpayers. So their grocery bills go up. Their fuel costs go up. Their daycare costs increase and their utility bills creep ever skyward.

But the rich banksters are simultaneously rolling in FREE Fed cash, and instead of actually lending this money out and doing something useful with it, they crank up their own executive bonuses to make sure they get paid while the rest of the economy crumbles. And why? It's simple: Because people are crooks, and if they get handed $40 billion a month in free money, they're just going to grin and say, "How can we get MORE?"

That's the credo of the banks: MORE!

When you're out of a job and looking for honest work just to put a roof over your head, the bank is repossessing your house and screaming "MORE!"

When you can't make that car payment and you have to start riding the bus with the minimum wage masses, the banks scream "MORE!"

When you're trying to put healthy food on the table for your own family, and you see food prices ratcheting higher and higher as the value of your hard-earned dollar erodes, the banks scream "MORE!"

This mantra is all they know. The top global banks do not operate on compassion, benefit to society, fairness or even anything resembling lawful activity. They simply hornswaggle their way into the receiving end of ALL the money: Mortgage money, bailout money, government money and of course Fed money. That's the game, you see: Screw the whole world and everybody in it. There's MORE to be had!

Fed pumping is essentially a Ponzi scheme

How long will this go on? Until the whole system suddenly collapses due to its own corruption and greed. All such systems eventually collapse, of course. The Federal Reserve is essentially pushing a global Ponzi scheme where new money is created in order to keep old money from being lost.

The problem with all Ponzi schemes is that their very survival depends on continually expanding the money base upon which they operate. And since mathematics tells us that no currency system can be expanded to infinity, every such Ponzi-like system must, by definition, come crashing down.

We've seen it time and time again, of course. Zimbabwe cranked its currency into hyperinflation and then collapsed. So did Argentina. Chile. Peru. Weimar Germany, too:

In 1922, the largest denomination of the Papiermark was 50,000. A year later it was 100 Trillion. This means that by December 1923, the exchange rate with the US Dollar was 4.2 Trillion to 1. It is estimated that by November 1923, the yearly inflation rate was considered 325,000,000%. (http://www.mint.com/blog/trends/hyperinflation-the-story-of-9-failed-...)

Yugoslavia: "...during the height of hyperinflation (December 1994), inflation was increasing by a rate of 100% per day."

Peru: "Peruvian government decided again to replace the currency, this time with the Neuvo Sol, at a rate of 1,000,000,000 to 1."

Zimbabwe: "In August 2008, the government removed ten zeros from the currency, and 10 Billion ZWD became equal to 1 New ZWD, with an estimated annual inflation rate of about 500 quintillion (18 zeros) percent, with a monthly rate of 13 billion percent."

Hungary: "In 1944, the Hungarian Pengo's highest denomination was the 1,000 note. A year later it was 10,000,000. And by mid-1946, it was 100,000,000,000,000,000,000."

Can this happen to the U.S. dollar?

The good news is that the U.S. dollar has a large circulation base. The U.S. dollar M2 money supply is roughly $10 trillion.

That sounds really large until you consider the U.S. national debt is, all by itself, $16 trillion. (www.USdebtClock.org) In just four more years, by 2016, that debt will almost certainly reach $22 trillion. (http://www.usdebtclock.org/cbo-omb-gop-budget-estimates.html)

On top of all this, if the Fed is printing $85 billion a month, it adds another trillion dollars to the monetary base each year. Effectively, this means the Fed will be expanding the money supply by 10% annually, from day one. Except it doesn't end there, of course. In just a few months, the $85 billion a month will need to be increased to $200 billion a month. Then $500 billion a month. And before you know it, the Fed is creating one trillion dollars a month in a grand, final blowout of the U.S. dollar.

QE3 becomes the "infinite bailout" strategy of the Fed. But there's a problem in all this: Infinite money creation means infinite devaluation. As the money supply expands, the value of the dollars currently in circulation (physically or electronically) approaches ZERO. Such is the curse of mathematics and the laws of economics.

A global debt dump is inevitable

The final phase of all this will be radically accelerated, of course, by the dumping of U.S. government debt by other central banks in China, Japan and elsewhere. When they see the writing on the wall, they'll stage a selloff. The selloff will send shockwaves throughout the financial sector, causing investors to flee the dollar and ultimately resulting in the Fed creating even more fiat currency to buy back U.S. debt in a last-ditch effort to prevent a national bankruptcy.

This is the point where you get into Zimbabwe territory... where the government is forced to issue "new dollars" with a trade-in value of 1,000,000 to 1, and where the Fed becomes the last buyer of U.S. debt because nobody else will touch it. This is a lot like getting a cash advance on your credit card in order to make your minimum monthly payment. The debt accumulates as crushing compound interest, and there is no escape from the inevitable default.

This day is coming for America and the U.S. dollar.

Timing? Still unknown

The timing on all this is, of course, an unknown. Some of the more outspoken critics of Fed financial policy believe we're going to see a financial meltdown before the end of April 2013. Others think it may take several years longer. A few observers say we'll be lucky to make it to Christmas.

Personally, I'm always amazed at how long corrupt institutions can prop up their monetary scams, so I tend to think a full-blown meltdown might require years to take place. But the banking debt crisis is likely to happen much sooner, potentially even this year (after the election). That's not an official prediction, however; it's just a cautious warning to be safe rather than sorry. Historically, my own predictions tend to be 1-3 years too early. I began warning about the dot-com bubble in 1998, for example, and it didn't burst until 2001. I began warning about the housing bubble a year or two before it collapsed.

Either way, the U.S. dollar has become a game of musical chairs, and the loser is anyone holding dollars when the music stops. Don't have all your eggs in the dollar basket when that day comes, okay? Diversify into storable food, gold, farm land... anything that holds value through a currency collapse.

Because remember, the value of the currency you hold can be stolen from you even if the physical paper money is not. This swindle has been repeated countless times throughout human history, always by corrupt central bankers and government conspirators. Time after time, the People get scammed, and time after time, most of them can't even figure out who stole the money. That's the evil genius of the entire plan: Currency creation is invisible theft. With every new dollar they create, they effectively steal one dollar's worth of purchasing power from those who hold the currency.

In essence, then, the Federal Reserve has announce its plan to steal $85 billion a month from those who hold U.S. dollars... with no limit to the number of months this theft will continue.

We are staring into the eyes of the beast here, looking at the greatest financial swindle ever pulled off in the history of the world. This is the banker end game. When this chapter is complete, the people will be left with nothing while the banks own everything. It's all about MORE! ...remember?

with interest” (Matt. 25:27; Luke 19:23).

In those parables, Jesus is joking, sic, as St Thomas is saying. ( methaphoric )
Bad translation of the bible

27 ἔδει σε οὖν βαλεῖν τὰ ἀργύριά μου τοῖς τραπεζίταις, καὶ ἐλθὼν ἐγὼ ἐκομισάμην ἂν τὸ ἐμὸν σὺν τόκῳ.
Tokoi τόκῳ means fruits, like in Theo Tokoi, mother of God.
The word interest is not in this text, tokoi τόκῳ is not interest, tokoi τόκῳ is fruit.
Only in a spiritual sense, not in a material sense...


Does this mean that God requires interest? In the spiritual sense, yes indeed ! The "talents," spiritual gifts given to us from God, are not given for nothing. He expects a return on His investment. God has chosen us and ordained us that we should go and bring forth fruit that remains and lasts, John 15:16.

St. Thomas Aquinas, the leading theologian of the Catholic Church, argued charging of interest is wrong because it amounts to "double charging", charging for both the thing and the use of the thing ( now, with fractional banking without any limit as in Canada and on money coming from thin air, it is infinite "creation" of infinite interests at an infinite rate of interest and infinite QE3, more than 1'000 per cent of interest rate, sic... ). Aquinas said this would be morally wrong in the same way as if one sold a bottle of wine, charged for the bottle of wine, and then charged for the person using the wine to actually drink it. Similarly, one cannot charge for a piece of cake and for the eating of the piece of cake. Yet this, said Aquinas, is what usury does. Money is exchange-medium. It is used up when it is spent. To charge for the money and for its use (by spending) is to charge for the money twice. It is also to sell time since the usurer charges, in effect, for the time that the money is in the hands of the borrower. Time, however, is not a commodity that anyone can sell. (For a detailed discussion of Aquinas and usury, go to Thought of Thomas Aquinas Part I ).

ON USURY AND OTHER DISHONEST PROFIT

Vix Pervenit
Encyclical of Pope Benedict XIV promulgated on November 1, 1745.
To the Venerable Brothers, Patriarchs, Archbishops, Bishops and Ordinary Clergy of Italy.
Venerable Brothers, Greetings and Apostolic Benediction.
Hardly had the new controversy (namely, whether certain contracts should be held valid) come to our attention, when several opinions began spreading in Italy that hardly seemed to agree with sound doctrine; We decided that We must remedy this. If We did not do so immediately, such an evil might acquire new force by delay and silence. If we neglected our duty, it might even spread further, shaking those cities of Italy so far not affected.
Therefore We decided to consult with a number of the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, who are renowned for their knowledge and competence in theology and canon law. We also called upon many from the regular clergy who were outstanding in both the faculty of theology and that of canon law. We chose some monks, some mendicants, and finally some from the regular clergy. As presiding officer, We appointed one with degrees in both canon and civil law, who had lengthy court experience. We chose the past July 4 for the meeting at which We explained the nature of the whole business. We learned that all had known and considered it already.
2. We then ordered them to consider carefully all aspects of the matter, meanwhile searching for a solution; after this consideration, they were to write out their conclusions. We did not ask them to pass judgment on the contract which gave rise to the controversy since the many documents they would need were not available. Rather We asked that they establish a fixed teaching on usury, since the opinions recently spread abroad seemed to contradict the Church's doctrine. All complied with these orders. They gave their opinions publicly in two convocations, the first of which was held in our presence last July 18, the other last August 1; then they submitted their opinions in writing to the secretary of the convocation.
3. Indeed they proved to be of one mind in their opinions.
I. The nature of the sin called usury has its proper place and origin in a loan contract. This financial contract between consenting parties demands, by its very nature, that one return to another only as much as he has received. The sin rests on the fact that sometimes the creditor desires more than he has given. Therefore he contends some gain is owed him beyond that which he loaned, but any gain which exceeds the amount he gave is illicit and usurious.
II. One cannot condone the sin of usury by arguing that the gain is not great or excessive, but rather moderate or small; neither can it be condoned by arguing that the borrower is rich; nor even by arguing that the money borrowed is not left idle, but is spent usefully, either to increase one's fortune, to purchase new estates, or to engage in business transactions. The law governing loans consists necessarily in the equality of what is given and returned; once the equality has been established, whoever demands more than that violates the terms of the loan. Therefore if one receives interest, he must make restitution according to the commutative bond of justice; its function in human contracts is to assure equality for each one. This law is to be observed in a holy manner. If not observed exactly, reparation must be made.
III. By these remarks, however, We do not deny that at times together with the loan contract certain other titles-which are not at all intrinsic to the contract-may run parallel with it. From these other titles, entirely just and legitimate reasons arise to demand something over and above the amount due on the contract. Nor is it denied that it is very often possible for someone, by means of contracts differing entirely from loans, to spend and invest money legitimately either to provide oneself with an annual income or to engage in legitimate trade and business. From these types of contracts honest gain may be made.
IV. There are many different contracts of this kind. In these contracts, if equality is not maintained, whatever is received over and above what is fair is a real injustice. Even though it may not fall under the precise rubric of usury (since all reciprocity, both open and hidden, is absent), restitution is obligated. Thus if everything is done correctly and weighed in the scales of justice, these same legitimate contracts suffice to provide a standard and a principle for engaging in commerce and fruitful business for the common good. Christian minds should not think that gainful commerce can flourish by usuries or other similar injustices. On the contrary We learn from divine Revelation that justice raises up nations; sin, however, makes nations miserable.
V. But you must diligently consider this, that some will falsely and rashly persuade themselves-and such people can be found anywhere-that together with loan contracts there are other legitimate titles or, excepting loan contracts, they might convince themselves that other just contracts exist, for which it is permissible to receive a moderate amount of interest. Should any one think like this, he will oppose not only the judgment of the Catholic Church on usury, but also common human sense and natural reason. Everyone knows that man is obliged in many instances to help his fellows with a simple, plain loan. Christ Himself teaches this: "Do not refuse to lend to him who asks you." In many circumstances, no other true and just contract may be possible except for a loan. Whoever therefore wishes to follow his conscience must first diligently inquire if, along with the loan, another category exists by means of which the gain he seeks may be lawfully attained.
4. This is how the Cardinals and theologians and the men most conversant with the canons, whose advice We had asked for in this most serious business, explained their opinions. Also We devoted our private study to this matter before the congregations were convened, while they were in session, and again after they had been held; for We read the opinions of these outstanding men most diligently. Because of this, We approve and confirm whatever is contained in the opinions above, since the professors of Canon Law and Theology, scriptural evidence, the decrees of previous popes, and the authority of Church councils and the Fathers all seem to enjoin it. Besides, We certainly know the authors who hold the opposite opinions and also those who either support and defend those authors or at least who seem to give them consideration. We are also aware that the theologians of regions neighboring those in which the controversy had its origin undertook the defense of the truth with wisdom and seriousness.
5. Therefore We address these encyclical letters to all Italian Archbishops, Bishops, and priests to make all of you aware of these matters. Whenever Synods are held or sermons preached or instructions on sacred doctrine given, the above opinions must be adhered to strictly. Take great care that no one in your dioceses dares to write or preach the contrary; however if any one should refuse to obey, he should be subjected to the penalties imposed by the sacred canons on those who violate Apostolic mandates.
6. Concerning the specific contract which caused these new controversies, We decide nothing for the present; We also shall not decide now about the other contracts in which the theologians and canonists lack agreement. Rekindle your zeal for piety and your conscientiousness so that you may execute what We have given.
7. First of all, show your people with persuasive words that the sin and vice of usury is most emphatically condemned in the Sacred Scriptures; that it assumes various forms and appearances in order that the faithful, restored to liberty and grace by the blood of Christ, may again be driven headlong into ruin. Therefore, if they desire to invest their money, let them exercise diligent care lest they be snatched by cupidity, the source of all evil; to this end, let them be guided by those who excel in doctrine and the glory of virtue.
8. In the second place, some trust in their own strength and knowledge to such an extent that they do not hesitate to give answers to those questions which demand considerable knowledge of sacred theology and of the canons. But it is essential for these people, also, to avoid extremes, which are always evil. For instance, there are some who judge these matters with such severity that they hold any profit derived from money to be illegal and usurious; in contrast to them, there are some so indulgent and so remiss that they hold any gain whatsoever to be free of usury. Let them not adhere too much to their private opinions. Before they give their answer, let them consult a number of eminent writers; then let them accept those views which they understand to be confirmed by knowledge and authority. And if a dispute should arise, when some contract is discussed, let no insults be hurled at those who hold the contrary opinion; nor let it be asserted that it must be severely censured, particularly if it does not lack the support of reason and of men of reputation. Indeed clamorous outcries and accusations break the chain of Christian love and give offense and scandal to the people.
9. In the third place, those who desire to keep themselves free and untouched by the contamination of usury and to give their money to another in such a manner that they may receive only legitimate gain should be admonished to make a contract beforehand. In the contract they should explain the conditions and what gain they expect from their money. This will not only greatly help to avoid concern and anxiety, but will also confirm the contract in the realm of public business. This approach also closes the door on controversies-which have arisen more than once-since it clarifies whether the money, which has been loaned without apparent interest, may actually contain concealed usury.
10. In the fourth place We exhort you not to listen to those who say that today the issue of usury is present in name only, since gain is almost always obtained from money given to another. How false is this opinion and how far removed from the truth! We can easily understand this if we consider that the nature of one contract differs from the nature of another. By the same token, the things which result from these contracts will differ in accordance with the varying nature of the contracts. Truly an obvious difference exists between gain which arises from money legally, and therefore can be upheld in the courts of both civil and canon law, and gain which is illicitly obtained, and must therefore be returned according to the judgments of both courts. Thus, it is clearly invalid to suggest, on the grounds that some gain is usually received from money lent out, that the issue of usury is irrelevant in our times.
11. These are the chief things We wanted to say to you. We hope that you may command your faithful to observe what these letters prescribe; and that you may undertake effective remedies if disturbances should be stirred up among your people because of this new controversy over usury or if the simplicity and purity of doctrine should become corrupted in Italy. Finally, to you and to the flock committed to your care, We impart the Apostolic Benediction.
Given in Rome at St. Mary Major, November 1, 1745, the sixth year of Our Pontificate.

Article 1. Whether it is a sin to take usury for money lent?

Objection 1. It would seem that it is not a sin to take usury for money lent. For no man sins through following the example of Christ. But Our Lord said of Himself (Luke 19:23): "At My coming I might have exacted it," i.e. the money lent, "with usury." Therefore it is not a sin to take usury for lending money.
Objection 2. Further, according to Psalm 18:8, "The law of the Lord is unspotted," because, to wit, it forbids sin. Now usury of a kind is allowed in the Divine law, according to Deuteronomy 23:19-20: "Thou shalt not fenerate to thy brother money, nor corn, nor any other thing, but to the stranger": nay more, it is even promised as a reward for the observance of the Law, according to Deuteronomy 28:12: "Thou shalt fenerate* to many nations, and shalt not borrow of any one." ['Faeneraberis'--'Thou shalt lend upon usury.' The Douay version has simply 'lend.' The objection lays stress on the word 'faeneraberis': hence the necessity of rendering it by 'fenerate.'] Therefore it is not a sin to take usury.
Objection 3. Further, in human affairs justice is determined by civil laws. Now civil law allows usury to be taken. Therefore it seems to be lawful.
Objection 4. Further, the counsels are not binding under sin. But, among other counsels we find (Luke 6:35): "Lend, hoping for nothing thereby." Therefore it is not a sin to take usury.
Objection 5. Further, it does not seem to be in itself sinful to accept a price for doing what one is not bound to do. But one who has money is not bound in every case to lend it to his neighbor. Therefore it is lawful for him sometimes to accept a price for lending it.
Objection 6. Further, silver made into coins does not differ specifically from silver made into a vessel. But it is lawful to accept a price for the loan of a silver vessel. Therefore it is also lawful to accept a price for the loan of a silver coin. Therefore usury is not in itself a sin.
Objection 7. Further, anyone may lawfully accept a thing which its owner freely gives him. Now he who accepts the loan, freely gives the usury. Therefore he who lends may lawfully take the usury.
On the contrary, It is written (Exodus 22:25): "If thou lend money to any of thy people that is poor, that dwelleth with thee, thou shalt not be hard upon them as an extortioner, nor oppress them with usuries."
I answer that, To take usury for money lent is unjust in itself, because this is to sell what does not exist, and this evidently leads to inequality which is contrary to justice. On order to make this evident, we must observe that there are certain things the use of which consists in their consumption: thus we consume wine when we use it for drink and we consume wheat when we use it for food. Wherefore in such like things the use of the thing must not be reckoned apart from the thing itself, and whoever is granted the use of the thing, is granted the thing itself and for this reason, to lend things of this kin is to transfer the ownership. Accordingly if a man wanted to sell wine separately from the use of the wine, he would be selling the same thing twice, or he would be selling what does not exist, wherefore he would evidently commit a sin of injustice. On like manner he commits an injustice who lends wine or wheat, and asks for double payment, viz. one, the return of the thing in equal measure, the other, the price of the use, which is called usury.
On the other hand, there are things the use of which does not consist in their consumption: thus to use a house is to dwell in it, not to destroy it. Wherefore in such things both may be granted: for instance, one man may hand over to another the ownership of his house while reserving to himself the use of it for a time, or vice versa, he may grant the use of the house, while retaining the ownership. For this reason a man may lawfully make a charge for the use of his house, and, besides this, revendicate the house from the person to whom he has granted its use, as happens in renting and letting a house.
Now money, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. v, 5; Polit. i, 3) was invented chiefly for the purpose of exchange: and consequently the proper and principal use of money is its consumption or alienation whereby it is sunk in exchange. Hence it is by its very nature unlawful to take payment for the use of money lent, which payment is known as usury: and just as a man is bound to restore other ill-gotten goods, so is he bound to restore the money which he has taken in usury.
Reply to Objection 1. In this passage usury must be taken figuratively for the increase of spiritual goods which God exacts from us, for He wishes us ever to advance in the goods which we receive from Him: and this is for our own profit not for His.
Reply to Objection 2. The Jews were forbidden to take usury from their brethren, i.e. from other Jews. By this we are given to understand that to take usury from any man is evil simply, because we ought to treat every man as our neighbor and brother, especially in the state of the Gospel, whereto all are called. Hence it is said without any distinction in Psalm 14:5: "He that hath not put out his money to usury," and (Ezekiel 18:8): "Who hath not taken usury [Vulgate: 'If a man . . . hath not lent upon money, nor taken any increase . . . he is just.']." They were permitted, however, to take usury from foreigners, not as though it were lawful, but in order to avoid a greater evil, lest, to wit, through avarice to which they were prone according to Isaiah 56:11, they should take usury from the Jews who were worshippers of God.
Where we find it promised to them as a reward, "Thou shalt fenerate to many nations," etc., fenerating is to be taken in a broad sense for lending, as in Sirach 29:10, where we read: "Many have refused to fenerate, not out of wickedness," i.e. they would not lend. Accordingly the Jews are promised in reward an abundance of wealth, so that they would be able to lend to others.
Reply to Objection 3. Human laws leave certain things unpunished, on account of the condition of those who are imperfect, and who would be deprived of many advantages, if all sins were strictly forbidden and punishments appointed for them. Wherefore human law has permitted usury, not that it looks upon usury as harmonizing with justice, but lest the advantage of many should be hindered. Hence it is that in civil law [Inst. II, iv, de Usufructu] it is stated that "those things according to natural reason and civil law which are consumed by being used, do not admit of usufruct," and that "the senate did not (nor could it) appoint a usufruct to such things, but established a quasi-usufruct," namely by permitting usury. Moreover the Philosopher, led by natural reason, says (Polit. i, 3) that "to make money by usury is exceedingly unnatural."
Reply to Objection 4. A man is not always bound to lend, and for this reason it is placed among the counsels. Yet it is a matter of precept not to seek profit by lending: although it may be called a matter of counsel in comparison with the maxims of the Pharisees, who deemed some kinds of usury to be lawful, just as love of one's enemies is a matter of counsel. Or again, He speaks here not of the hope of usurious gain, but of the hope which is put in man. For we ought not to lend or do any good deed through hope in man, but only through hope in God.
Reply to Objection 5. He that is not bound to lend, may accept repayment for what he has done, but he must not exact more. Now he is repaid according to equality of justice if he is repaid as much as he lent. Wherefore if he exacts more for the usufruct of a thing which has no other use but the consumption of its substance, he exacts a price of something non-existent: and so his exaction is unjust.
Reply to Objection 6. The principal use of a silver vessel is not its consumption, and so one may lawfully sell its use while retaining one's ownership of it. On the other hand the principal use of silver money is sinking it in exchange, so that it is not lawful to sell its use and at the same time expect the restitution of the amount lent. It must be observed, however, that the secondary use of silver vessels may be an exchange, and such use may not be lawfully sold. On like manner there may be some secondary use of silver money; for instance, a man might lend coins for show, or to be used as security.
Reply to Objection 7. He who gives usury does not give it voluntarily simply, but under a certain necessity, in so far as he needs to borrow money which the owner is unwilling to lend without usury.

Article 2. Whether it is lawful to ask for any other kind of consideration for money lent?

Objection 1. It would seem that one may ask for some other kind of consideration for money lent. For everyone may lawfully seek to indemnify himself. Now sometimes a man suffers loss through lending money. Therefore he may lawfully ask for or even exact something else besides the money lent.
Objection 2. Further, as stated in Ethic. v, 5, one is in duty bound by a point of honor, to repay anyone who has done us a favor. Now to lend money to one who is in straits is to do him a favor for which he should be grateful. Therefore the recipient of a loan, is bound by a natural debt to repay something. Now it does not seem unlawful to bind oneself to an obligation of the natural law. Therefore it is not unlawful, in lending money to anyone, to demand some sort of compensation as condition of the loan.
Objection 3. Further, just as there is real remuneration, so is there verbal remuneration, and remuneration by service, as a gloss says on Isaiah 33:15, "Blessed is he that shaketh his hands from all bribes [Vulgate: 'Which of you shall dwell with everlasting burnings? . . . He that shaketh his hands from all bribes.']." Now it is lawful to accept service or praise from one to whom one has lent money. Therefore in like manner it is lawful to accept any other kind of remuneration.
Objection 4. Further, seemingly the relation of gift to gift is the same as of loan to loan. But it is lawful to accept money for money given. Therefore it is lawful to accept repayment by loan in return for a loan granted.
Objection 5. Further, the lender, by transferring his ownership of a sum of money removes the money further from himself than he who entrusts it to a merchant or craftsman. Now it is lawful to receive interest for money entrusted to a merchant or craftsman. Therefore it is also lawful to receive interest for money lent.
Objection 6. Further, a man may accept a pledge for money lent, the use of which pledge he might sell for a price: as when a man mortgages his land or the house wherein he dwells. Therefore it is lawful to receive interest for money lent.
Objection 7. Further, it sometimes happens that a man raises the price of his goods under guise of loan, or buys another's goods at a low figure; or raises his price through delay in being paid, and lowers his price that he may be paid the sooner. Now in all these cases there seems to be payment for a loan of money: nor does it appear to be manifestly illicit. Therefore it seems to be lawful to expect or exact some consideration for money lent.
On the contrary, Among other conditions requisite in a just man it is stated (Ezekiel 18:17) that he "hath not taken usury and increase."
I answer that, According to the Philosopher (Ethic. iv, 1), a thing is reckoned as money "if its value can be measured by money." Consequently, just as it is a sin against justice, to take money, by tacit or express agreement, in return for lending money or anything else that is consumed by being used, so also is it a like sin, by tacit or express agreement to receive anything whose price can be measured by money. Yet there would be no sin in receiving something of the kind, not as exacting it, nor yet as though it were due on account of some agreement tacit or expressed, but as a gratuity: since, even before lending the money, one could accept a gratuity, nor is one in a worse condition through lending.
On the other hand it is lawful to exact compensation for a loan, in respect of such things as are not appreciated by a measure of money, for instance, benevolence, and love for the lender, and so forth.
Reply to Objection 1. A lender may without sin enter an agreement with the borrower for compensation for the loss he incurs of something he ought to have, for this is not to sell the use of money but to avoid a loss. It may also happen that the borrower avoids a greater loss than the lender incurs, wherefore the borrower may repay the lender with what he has gained. But the lender cannot enter an agreement for compensation, through the fact that he makes no profit out of his money: because he must not sell that which he has not yet and may be prevented in many ways from having.
Reply to Objection 2. Repayment for a favor may be made in two ways. On one way, as a debt of justice; and to such a debt a man may be bound by a fixed contract; and its amount is measured according to the favor received. Wherefore the borrower of money or any such thing the use of which is its consumption is not bound to repay more than he received in loan: and consequently it is against justice if he be obliged to pay back more. On another way a man's obligation to repayment for favor received is based on a debt of friendship, and the nature of this debt depends more on the feeling with which the favor was conferred than on the greatness of the favor itself. This debt does not carry with it a civil obligation, involving a kind of necessity that would exclude the spontaneous nature of such a repayment.
Reply to Objection 3. If a man were, in return for money lent, as though there had been an agreement tacit or expressed, to expect or exact repayment in the shape of some remuneration of service or words, it would be the same as if he expected or exacted some real remuneration, because both can be priced at a money value, as may be seen in the case of those who offer for hire the labor which they exercise by work or by tongue. If on the other hand the remuneration by service or words be given not as an obligation, but as a favor, which is not to be appreciated at a money value, it is lawful to take, exact, and expect it.
Reply to Objection 4. Money cannot be sold for a greater sum than the amount lent, which has to be paid back: nor should the loan be made with a demand or expectation of aught else but of a feeling of benevolence which cannot be priced at a pecuniary value, and which can be the basis of a spontaneous loan. Now the obligation to lend in return at some future time is repugnant to such a feeling, because again an obligation of this kind has its pecuniary value. Consequently it is lawful for the lender to borrow something else at the same time, but it is unlawful for him to bind the borrower to grant him a loan at some future time.
Reply to Objection 5. He who lends money transfers the ownership of the money to the borrower. Hence the borrower holds the money at his own risk and is bound to pay it all back: wherefore the lender must not exact more. On the other hand he that entrusts his money to a merchant or craftsman so as to form a kind of society, does not transfer the ownership of his money to them, for it remains his, so that at his risk the merchant speculates with it, or the craftsman uses it for his craft, and consequently he may lawfully demand as something belonging to him, part of the profits derived from his money.
Reply to Objection 6. If a man in return for money lent to him pledges something that can be valued at a price, the lender must allow for the use of that thing towards the repayment of the loan. Else if he wishes the gratuitous use of that thing in addition to repayment, it is the same as if he took money for lending, and that is usury, unless perhaps it were such a thing as friends are wont to lend to one another gratis, as in the case of the loan of a book.
Reply to Objection 7. If a man wish to sell his goods at a higher price than that which is just, so that he may wait for the buyer to pay, it is manifestly a case of usury: because this waiting for the payment of the price has the character of a loan, so that whatever he demands beyond the just price in consideration of this delay, is like a price for a loan, which pertains to usury. On like manner if a buyer wishes to buy goods at a lower price than what is just, for the reason that he pays for the goods before they can be delivered, it is a sin of usury; because again this anticipated payment of money has the character of a loan, the price of which is the rebate on the just price of the goods sold. On the other hand if a man wishes to allow a rebate on the just price in order that he may have his money sooner, he is not guilty of the sin of usury.

Article 3. Whether a man is bound to restore whatever profits he has made out of money gotten by usury?

Objection 1. It would seem that a man is bound to restore whatever profits he has made out of money gotten by usury. For the Apostle says (Romans 11:16): "If the root be holy, so are the branches." Therefore likewise if the root be rotten so are the branches. But the root was infected with usury. Therefore whatever profit is made therefrom is infected with usury. Therefore he is bound to restore it.
Objection 2. Further, it is laid down (Extra, De Usuris, in the Decretal: 'Cum tu sicut asseris'): "Property accruing from usury must be sold, and the price repaid to the persons from whom the usury was extorted." Therefore, likewise, whatever else is acquired from usurious money must be restored.
Objection 3. Further, that which a man buys with the proceeds of usury is due to him by reason of the money he paid for it. Therefore he has no more right to the thing purchased than to the money he paid. But he was bound to restore the money gained through usury. Therefore he is also bound to restore what he acquired with it.
On the contrary, A man may lawfully hold what he has lawfully acquired. Now that which is acquired by the proceeds of usury is sometimes lawfully acquired. Therefore it may be lawfully retained.
I answer that, As stated above (Article 1), there are certain things whose use is their consumption, and which do not admit of usufruct, according to law (ibid., ad 3). Wherefore if such like things be extorted by means of usury, for instance money, wheat, wine and so forth, the lender is not bound to restore more than he received (since what is acquired by such things is the fruit not of the thing but of human industry), unless indeed the other party by losing some of his own goods be injured through the lender retaining them: for then he is bound to make good the loss.
On the other hand, there are certain things whose use is not their consumption: such things admit of usufruct, for instance house or land property and so forth. Wherefore if a man has by usury extorted from another his house or land, he is bound to restore not only the house or land but also the fruits accruing to him therefrom, since they are the fruits of things owned by another man and consequently are due to him.
Reply to Objection 1. The root has not only the character of matter, as money made by usury has; but has also somewhat the character of an active cause, in so far as it administers nourishment. Hence the comparison fails.
Reply to Objection 2. Further, Property acquired from usury does not belong to the person who paid usury, but to the person who bought it. Yet he that paid usury has a certain claim on that property just as he has on the other goods of the usurer. Hence it is not prescribed that such property should be assigned to the persons who paid usury, since the property is perhaps worth more than what they paid in usury, but it is commanded that the property be sold, and the price be restored, of course according to the amount taken in usury.
Reply to Objection 3. The proceeds of money taken in usury are due to the person who acquired them not by reason of the usurious money as instrumental cause, but on account of his own industry as principal cause. Wherefore he has more right to the goods acquired with usurious money than to the usurious money itself.

Article 4. Whether it is lawful to borrow money under a condition of usury?

Objection 1. It would seem that it is not lawful to borrow money under a condition of usury. For the Apostle says (Romans 1:32) that they "are worthy of death . . . not only they that do" these sins, "but they also that consent to them that do them." Now he that borrows money under a condition of usury consents in the sin of the usurer, and gives him an occasion of sin. Therefore he sins also.
Objection 2. Further, for no temporal advantage ought one to give another an occasion of committing a sin: for this pertains to active scandal, which is always sinful, as stated above (Question 43, Article 2). Now he that seeks to borrow from a usurer gives him an occasion of sin. Therefore he is not to be excused on account of any temporal advantage.
Objection 3. Further, it seems no less necessary sometimes to deposit one's money with a usurer than to borrow from him. Now it seems altogether unlawful to deposit one's money with a usurer, even as it would be unlawful to deposit one's sword with a madman, a maiden with a libertine, or food with a glutton. Neither therefore is it lawful to borrow from a usurer.
On the contrary, He that suffers injury does not sin, according to the Philosopher (Ethic. v, 11), wherefore justice is not a mean between two vices, as stated in the same book (ch. 5). Now a usurer sins by doing an injury to the person who borrows from him under a condition of usury. Therefore he that accepts a loan under a condition of usury does not sin.
I answer that, It is by no means lawful to induce a man to sin, yet it is lawful to make use of another's sin for a good end, since even God uses all sin for some good, since He draws some good from every evil as stated in the Enchiridion (xi). Hence when Publicola asked whether it were lawful to make use of an oath taken by a man swearing by false gods (which is a manifest sin, for he gives Divine honor to them) Augustine (Ep. xlvii) answered that he who uses, not for a bad but for a good purpose, the oath of a man that swears by false gods, is a party, not to his sin of swearing by demons, but to his good compact whereby he kept his word. If however he were to induce him to swear by false gods, he would sin.
Accordingly we must also answer to the question in point that it is by no means lawful to induce a man to lend under a condition of usury: yet it is lawful to borrow for usury from a man who is ready to do so and is a usurer by profession; provided the borrower have a good end in view, such as the relief of his own or another's need. Thus too it is lawful for a man who has fallen among thieves to point out his property to them (which they sin in taking) in order to save his life, after the example of the ten men who said to Ismahel (Jeremiah 41:8): "Kill us not: for we have stores in the field."
Reply to Objection 1. He who borrows for usury does not consent to the usurer's sin but makes use of it. Nor is it the usurer's acceptance of usury that pleases him, but his lending, which is good.
Reply to Objection 2. He who borrows for usury gives the usurer an occasion, not for taking usury, but for lending; it is the usurer who finds an occasion of sin in the malice of his heart. Hence there is passive scandal on his part, while there is no active scandal on the part of the person who seeks to borrow. Nor is this passive scandal a reason why the other person should desist from borrowing if he is in need, since this passive scandal arises not from weakness or ignorance but from malice.
Reply to Objection 3. If one were to entrust one's money to a usurer lacking other means of practising usury; or with the intention of making a greater profit from his money by reason of the usury, one would be giving a sinner matter for sin, so that one would be a participator in his guilt. If, on the other hand, the usurer to whom one entrusts one's money has other means of practising usury, there is no sin in entrusting it to him that it may be in safer keeping, since this is to use a sinner for a good purpose.

Barry McLerran
Producer
Introduction to the Affiliate Program
The Affiliate Program is designed to reward YOU for promoting Demographic Winter
How it works:
1. You select which promotion tool(s) (referred to in this document as “Creative’s”)
you would like to use to promote the film
a. Banner Ads
b. Trailer Links
c. Text Links
d. Invisible Codes
Add theses Tools to your website, blog, myspace, facebook, other networking sites, email

a. We will pay you per sale that comes as a result from your referral
For example: let’s say you add the banner ad to your site and we’ve negotiated that we
will pay you 30% for every sale that results from referrals from your site. Then, in one
month 2,000 people click on the banner ad and it leads them to our website; and 100 of
those referrals BUY a DVD, we will then pay you $6 for every one of those sales! That’s
$600, for doing virtually nothing!
SELL THE DVD as a Partner or Advocate
Give traffic to your website a boost:
The subject of demographic winter is building momentum right now, so increase traffic
to your website by doing an article on the subject, an editorial or a message from your
organization’s leader. As PR for the film and the subject increases, so will people
looking for information on the internet. Why not bring them to your site for answers

popular option)
b. “Text” creative’s are text that you copy and paste onto your website, or in
a blog, an article or another place where a text link makes sense.
c. “Invisible” links are links that conceal the fact that it is indeed an affiliate
link because some merchants feel that consumers won’t click on obvious
affiliate links. But, do not worry, the invisible links still have your
individual affiliate ID information embedded in their link scripts.

be a part of the affiliate program please contact us and we will work with you
individually in setting up special Creative’s for you.

7. Next, check your Affiliate account periodically to see if it has been effective, and
that there aren’t any discrepancies.
The Payment Process
You will be paid the First Friday of every month for the previous month’s sales.
Before each payment date we will reconcile all transactions and contact you if there are
any discrepancies. Please check your account every week to stay current on your activity
level.
Please see the following section to see our suggestions on how to make the affiliate
program even more effective.
How to be more effective
Below are a few suggestions that we have found to make any affiliate program more
effective:
1. Affiliate programs work the best when the product you’re promoting is relevant to
your website. If your site is not relevant, we may still approve you to be an
affiliate, however you may not see significant benefit.
2. Banner ads (Image Creative’s) work great! However, if you have too many
banner ads on your website already, then it just becomes “noise.” We highly
suggest you limit the number of banner ads you have on your website.
3. Also, try different placements of your banner ads. If you keep the banners in the
same spot for a long time (depending upon how frequently each visitor visits your
site) they can become stagnant, reducing their effectiveness.
4. Try using multiple referral methods. Use a banner ad, and use a Text Creative to
point to www.DemographicWinter.com.

531 médecins contre l' incinérateur d'ordures ménagères

L'usine Tridel est-elle nocive?

Eclairage / 04.10.12 / Charaf Abdessemed

Lancée en 2006, l'usine d'incinération des déchets tourne aujourd'hui à plein régime.Certaines voix s'élèvent pour remettre en question la validité des mesures des substances émises dans l'atmosphère.A Clermont-Ferrand en France, un collectif de 530 médecins s'oppose par tous les moyens à l'ouverture d'un incinérateur.

Certains riverains n'ont pas hésité à faire preuve de leur inquiétude. DR

DECHETS • Avons-nous, sans le savoir, une bombe à retardement au cœur de Lausanne et à 200 mètres à peine du CHUV? C'est en tout cas ce qu'affirme l'ingénieur Claude Monod, président de l'Association pour la sauvegarde du Vallon du Flon. Depuis plusieurs mois en effet, l'association assaille d'une multitude de courriers les autorités cantonales, qu'elles soient sanitaires ou responsables de la surveillance de l'environnement. Son objectif? Obtenir des précisions quant aux nuisances occasionnées par le fonctionnement de Tridel, la célèbre usine d'incinération de déchets ménagers, ouverte en 2006.
Valeurs maximales
L'association n'hésite pas à remettre en question les méthodes de mesure de la qualité de l'air autour du site de Tridel. «Les valeurs d'émissions sont sous-évaluées car elles se basent sur un débit d'incinération de 11.8 tonnes par heure et par four», explique ainsi Claude Monod. Et de s'insurger: «Or il est certain que le débit de l'incinération dépasse largement ce seuil. Pourquoi ne pas effectuer les contrôles quand les fours fonctionnent à leurs valeurs maximales?»Autre doléance: selon Claude Monod, Tridel ne respecte tout simplement pas la volonté populaire: «Dès sa mise en service, affirme-t-il, l'usine a incinéré beaucoup plus de déchets que prévu. On a trompé les citoyens en leur faisant voter pour des usines pouvant brûler 140'000 tonnes annuelles et non les 158'000 tonnes atteintes! En plus, on s'était engagé à ne brûler que les déchets du canton, ce qui n'a pas toujours été le cas!»Mais l'association n'est pas la seule à remettre en question Tridel. Depuis l'ouverture de l'usine, certains riverains n'ont ainsi pas hésité à faire preuve de leur inquiétude. Publié en septembre de l'année dernière par notre confrère 24heures, un courrier des lecteurs dénonçait les «odeurs pestilentielles» ainsi que les «poussières grossières et noires» déposées sur son balcon et exigeait un renforcement «des filtres de l'usine, jugés insuffisants lors des canicules».Toutes ces allégations ont le don de susciter l'indignation de Stefan Nellen, president du conseil d'administration de l'usine d'incinération de déchets.
Trois plaintes par an
«A Tridel, sur 150'000 citoyens lausannois, nous n 'enregistrons que 3 plaintes par an, s'insurge-t-il sans cacher une pointe d'exaspération. Et en plus, ce sont toujours les mêmes depuis dix ans! Quant à l'association pour la sauvergarde du vallon du Flon, elle ne compte en réalité qu'un seul membre cotisant!»Et sur le fond, Stefan Nellen récuse en bloc toutes les accusations portées contre Tridel: «Tout cela est complètement faux. D'abord Tridel ne sent pas en exploitation normale. Il peut arriver en été, qu'au cours du transfert de déchets, des odeurs s'échappent dans un certain périmètre autour de la benne, mais rien de plus. Enfin, les tests sont effectués lorsque les fours tournent à plein régime, et par un bureau totalement neutre et indépendant et nous ouvrons nos portes à tous ceux qui le souhaitent. Bien sûr, dire qu'on ne pollue pas c'est faux. Une usine c'est comme une voiture, elle pollue forcément. Mais aujourd'hui, on ne peut pas faire mieux avec la technologie actuelle. D'ailleurs Tridel est 21 fois plus propre que celle qui existait auparavant à Lausanne!»Quant à l'éventuelle surcapacité des fours, le président la balaie d'un revers de main: «Certains au départ nous reprochaient que l'usine était surdimensionnée. Aujourd'hui, on nous reproche le fait qu'elle fonctionne à plein régime». Et d'annoncer: «De toute façon, avec l'introduction de la taxe au sac en 2013, on s'attend à une diminution des tonnages de 15 à 20%!»
«Tridel est 21 fois plus propre que celle qui existait auparavant à Lausanne!», Stefan Nellen, president du conseil d'administration de Tridel.

«Un attentat contre la santé publique»

CA • C'est une bronca assez inédite qui ne peut qu'interpeller. A Clermont-Ferrand, en France, pas moins de 530 médecins, sur les 740 que compte l'agglomération, se sont opposés à l'implantation d'un incinérateur d'ordures ménagères. Médecin et élu local, leur porte-parole Jean-Michel Calut ne mâche pas ses mots. «L'installation d'un incinérateur dans notre région est un attentat programmé contre la santé publique. A l'hôpital, j'ai soigné pendant des années des malades de l'amiante. Alors je ne veux plus jamais entendre des phrases du genre: responsable mais pas coupable! Le problème avec les incinérateurs, c'est que les normes sont techniques et non pas sanitaires.» Et de s'appuyer sur les conclusions d'une étude de l'Institut National de Veille Sanitaire rendues publiques en mars 2008, qui ont «mis en évidence un lien entre le niveau d'exposition des populations aux panaches de fumées des incinérateurs dans les années 70-80 et l'augmentation significative de la fréquence de certains types cancers pendant les années 90-99»

Incinération et santé humaine:
Publicité particulière du VALTOM et de VERNÉA

Dans plusieurs pages publicitaires publiées dans la presse, le VALTOM et VERNÉA assurent :
« Vernéa, c’est la meilleure et l’unique garantie d’une parfaite innocuité vis-à-vis de l’environnement et de la santé humaine »
« La production annuelle de dioxines du pôle est équivalente à celle d’un feu d’artifice de quelques minutes »
Affirmer que la solution Incinération des déchets ménagers est la seule et la meilleure garantie d’une parfaite
innocuité vis-à-vis de l’environnement et de la santé humaine, tout en rassurant avec l’image d’un « feu d’artifice », porterait plus à rire qu’à pleurer s’il ne s’agissait de santé publique.
· Au moment où l’Institut national de Veille Sanitaire ( InVS ) rendait public fin mars 2008 les résultat
définitifs de l'étude sur l'incidence des cancers à proximité des usines d'incinération d'ordures
ménagères en montrant que, pour tous les types de cancers, les risques relatifs avaient été sous-estimés
dans ses résultats préliminaires en 2006 ( les risques de cancers, apparus entre 1990 et 1999,
étant en effet revus à la hausse tous types confondus et certains, les myélomes font même leur apparition :
+23% pour les hommes, +16% pour les 2 sexes ),
Les résultats de cette étude, compte tenu des courtes périodes de latence choisies par l’InVS, entre
exposition et apparition d'un cancer ( 5 ans pour les leucémies et 10 ans pour les autres cancers),
laissent craindre selon l'InVS lui-même que le pic d'apparition de cancers ne soit certainement pas
encore atteint.
· Au moment où l’on sait que sur les 2000 substances rejetées par les incinérateurs d’ordures
ménagères, seules 50 sont font l’objet de tentatives de filtration, le VALTOM et VERNEA veulent
rassurer la population en ramenant le risque au seul contrôle de la production de dioxines de l‘usine
d’incinération et en le comparant à celui d’un feu d’artifice…
Le VALTOM et VERNEA oublient que l’InVS précise dans ses conclusions que l'indicateur
d'exposition ne permet pas d'incriminer un polluant particulier. L’argument dioxine tombe.
« Rien ne se perd, rien ne se créé, tout se transforme » énonçait LAVOISIER. Une tonne de molécules
composant les déchets se transforment, via l’incinération, en un cocktail de nouvelles molécules
toxiques cancérigènes, mutagènes et reprotoxiques rentrent dans la composition des 300 kilos de
cendres et des 700 kilos de fumées produites par la combustion.
C’est la combustion qui fait que l’incinération est plus à risque que toutes les autres méthodes
d’élimination des déchets.
Dans l’étude InVs si les seuls cancers ont été étudiés, restent les anomalies de la fertilité et les
malformations congénitales qui ont déjà fait l’objet d’autres études alarmantes.
· Au moment où les réductions des dernières normes de rejet de quelques polluants ( dont les dioxines )
ne correspondent pas en réalité à une tolérance sanitaire mais seulement à la faisabilité technique
du moment, il faut souligner, contrairement à ce qu’affirment le VALTOM et VERNEA, qu’elles n’ont fait
depuis l’objet d’aucune autre étude épidémiologique permettant d’affirmer l’absence de risque
sanitaire pour les populations vivant sous le panache des incinérateurs,
Les Porte parole de 531 médecins de l'agglomération clermontoise
opposés à l'implantation d'un incinérateur d'ordures ménagères
au centre de l’agglomération de Clermont-Ferrand,
les docteurs CALUT, CHIAPPONI, LAFFONT et LAVIGNON.
· Au moment où le VALTOM assure l’utilisation en remblais routiers des 300 kilos de mâchefers issus
d’une tonne de déchets incinérés, les négociations du Grenelle ont permis de souligner la nécessaire
évolution de la réglementation sur les mâchefers, qui vieille de 13 ans, apparaît aujourd’hui obsolète (
circulaire du 9 mai 1994 ) avec la prise en compte des risques liés à l'utilisation des mâchefers et à la sousestimation
de leur potentiel polluant,
· Au moment où tous les grands acteurs économiques privés s’accordent à reconnaître que la masse des
Produits Résiduels Ménagers diminue de 2% l’an, le VALTOM s’est engagé à fournir 170.000 tonnes de
déchets ménagers par an, pendant 20 ans,
Pour information, le Président de la Communauté de Communes de la Porte d’Alsace ( CCPA ) vient
d’apprendre que le coût de la tonne incinérée va progresser de 32% à l’incinérateur de Bourogne pour cause
d’insuffisance de gisement générée par les comportements individuels écologiques, incompatibles avec la
bonne marche d’un incinérateur. En effet, les produits résiduels ménagers ultimes en 2007 des habitants de la
CCPA, viennent de passer sous la barre des 95 kg/hbt/an.
Les populations ne doivent pas payer au prix fort le manque de volontarisme de décideurs politiques ou
administratifs installés dans leurs tours d’ivoire, calés sur des perspectives absurdes et ignorant le principe de
précaution inscrit dans notre constitution.
Ont-ils entendu le Président de la République, le 25 octobre 2007 : « Notre ambition [...] ce n'est pas d'être dans la
moyenne. Notre ambition c'est d'être en avance, d'être exemplaire. » et «La priorité ne sera plus à l'incinération
mais au recyclage des déchets. Il faudra prouver pour tout nouveau projet d'incinérateur qu'il s'agit bien de l'ultime
recours » et Monsieur Jean-Louis BORLOO, Ministre de l’Écologie, du Développement et de l’Aménagement
durables le 2 février dernier: « il faut désormais regarder toutes les alternatives sereinement… » ?
Les derniers résultats révélés par l’InVS, les caractéristiques de la cuvette clermontoise qui voit régulièrement les
pollutions existantes potentialiser leurs effets au cours des inversions de température l’hiver et des situations
caniculaires l’été, associées aux défaillances connues des incinérateurs ( Gilly-sur-Isère, Mulhouse,
Fourchambault, Gien et Metz ) et la réduction de la masse des produits résiduels ménagers, soulignent encore
l’inutilité et la dangerosité du projet incinérateur du VALTOM-VERNEA.
Un incinérateur d’ordures ménagères, perte de chance pour la santé et l’environnement, source de profits pour les
Industriels, est un procédé du siècle passé.
Les solutions alternatives intelligentes du 21ème siècle:
respectent la santé et l’environnement,
coûtent moins cher pour le contribuable,
créent plus d’emplois que les procédés thermiques,
permettent l’évolution vers l’éco-citoyen de demain.
Le Puy de Dôme peut être exemplaire et en avance.
