I’m glad to join the inspirational Steemit community.
My objectives here are to display you some eclectic contents, about various subjects but you will figure out my personal interests.
You must know some things about me, first, I’m not native english speaker, for the sake of universality I write and communicate with you in english. It means that you will probably spot ridiculous expression and strange vocabulary. I apologise in advance for that, I presume this blog will contribute to improve my english with time.
To complete my introduction to you, I want to share you a little photography project I had the chance to participate in. It was a little photography competition opened to any student of the university, and the theme of it was “Nuit blanche” in french which means “Sleepless night”. I’ve been very inspired when I have been told about this theme. Like many peoples, I always had many ideas about artistic creations/project, but many things in life can push you away from your inspirations (we will talk about this someday). This inspirational theme convinced me to move on and try to do something, as Steemit project did for my digital contribution.
My posts engage me self only, they're my opinions, and as everybody I'm always learning. I have no attention to hurt anybody, and I'll be careful about what I say. Do not hesitate to ask questions, I'll be very opened to discuss with you in comments
So, I realised one photography and wrote a presentation text associated to it. I wouldn’t post this contents separately, only both of them; for me the writing part, considering appart its relative quality, is the most important, because it puts the picture into a particular context, then creates contrast. The original text is french, but for you guys, I translated it.
Hope you’ll appreciate this blog, see you on the next post.

Nuit blanche
Monetary creation as it is practiced today requires ever higher growth in order to be able to repay debts but especially the interest on loans contracted by states and companies. In doing so, the growth of the markets comes up against a decrease, that of the yields of the extraction of raw materials or of the health of the biosphere. Thus, if oligarchic thermo-industrial societies grow and become more complex over decades and hundreds of billions of barrels of oil consumed, they become at the same time increasingly vulnerable and dependent on this energy.
Maurice Allais explained very well how modern monetary policies are totalitarian and totally deleterious to the good health of the so-called real economy; according to him "the current system is fundamentally uneconomic and unfavourable to the proper functioning of economies. It can only benefit very small minorities. "1
This photograph is not an apology for crime, it is to highlight the fact that activities described as criminal and immoral (as well as punishable by severe legal penalties), are not very different from the activities of banks and governments. Why would this scene be more shocking than a photograph taken during an ECB statement? That is, loans make deposits and not the other way around. While financial markets should help the real economy, it is the real economy that suffers from the depressions of the former, and the people that the money needed for refinancing banks (when possible) is extracted.
It is legitimate to fear conflicts of interest when "democratic" elected representatives have a past in the banking/private finance sector. These same people know a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of monetary policies (such as the Quantitative Easing practised by the FED or the ECB). In view of the flagrant excesses that this system offers to a minority of individuals, these same elected representatives are therefore either complicit or incompetent in containing these policies.
All nations are over-indebted; the preferred victims of banks are those countries described as developing, as on the African continent or in the East. World hunger is instrumentalized, and monetary neo-slavery is one of its causes. Under the pretext of humanitarian interference, the wars and military interventions of United Nations countries are the joy of the arms market, whose podium France and the U.S.A. share with Russia.
While the richest and most carefree spend sleepless nights in intoxication and parties, others organise themselves, associate, resist their way and aspire to emancipate themselves financially. They reject a system whose rules are not fair, rules dictated by those who enjoy the greatest favour. After 6:00 o’clock, they rest because the time for the police visit is over. But they have and will keep a bitter hatred, that of knowing that despite their social ascension the higher classes will never accept them, for who they are and where they come from.

"In its essence, the current ex nihilo monetary creation by the banking system is identical, I do not hesitate to say so to make clear what is really at issue, to the creation of money by counterfeiters, so rightly condemned by the law. In concrete terms, it leads to the same results. The only difference is that those who benefit are different.”2
Maurice Allais
