<strong>The</strong> <strong>Isis</strong> <strong>Papers</strong><br />

Paper Money and Gold<br />

l.-,<br />

an <strong>to</strong> dart about naked, running across open spaces, exposing<br />

maes l beg . h' h<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir naked white bodies, and <strong>the</strong>n hiding. This behaviOr, w .Ic was<br />

never decoded at deep levels, was called streaking. <strong>The</strong> behaviOr symbolically<br />

represented that in <strong>the</strong> white collective brain-computer <strong>the</strong> nake.d<br />

white body is equated with shame. Thus, when deep national shame. Is<br />

exposed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> world, <strong>the</strong>re is a compulsion <strong>to</strong> expose <strong>the</strong> naked white<br />

body. . th . f<br />

<strong>The</strong>re is also a parallel with <strong>the</strong> present increase m e pracnce o<br />

nudism in this area of <strong>the</strong> world, when America is experiencing a lo~s of<br />

power and prestige at national and international levels.. At <strong>the</strong> nm~,<br />

America begins <strong>to</strong> reveal more and more of <strong>the</strong> naked white body. ThiS<br />

pattern of increased white body exposure also incl~des <strong>the</strong> ~pl~ss and<br />

bot<strong>to</strong>mless bars that came in<strong>to</strong> prominence followmg Amenca s great<br />

shame in <strong>the</strong> loss of <strong>the</strong> Vietnam War. . .<br />

Now examine a dollar bill. Note that <strong>the</strong> original p~per IS ba~Ically<br />

white. On one side, <strong>the</strong> printing and engraving is done w.tth ~reen mk ~n<br />

white paper. On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r side, <strong>the</strong> printing and engravmg .Is ~one with<br />

black ink on white paper. A major symbol on <strong>the</strong> dollar billts ~.so <strong>the</strong><br />

African pyramid and <strong>the</strong> symbol of Osiris, <strong>the</strong> divine eye. Osms :'.as<br />

referred <strong>to</strong> as "Lord of <strong>the</strong> Perfect Black." Now recall. <strong>the</strong>. far~nli~<br />

expression, "Money does not grow on trees." <strong>The</strong> surface. tmplicanon lS<br />

that money is not so readily available. At a deeper level m th~ Western<br />

psyche, <strong>the</strong> statement likens paper money <strong>to</strong> tree leaves. One stde ~f that<br />

paper money is green, and <strong>the</strong> money is in tum referred <strong>to</strong> as green<br />

backs."<br />

To fur<strong>the</strong>r decode <strong>the</strong> symbolism of paper money' o~e mu~t understan<br />

that all paper money in Western culture is <strong>the</strong> sym~hc equivalent of <strong>the</strong><br />

proverbial fig leaves. Western artists always deptct fig leaves as <strong>the</strong><br />

objects used <strong>to</strong> cover <strong>the</strong> genitals of <strong>the</strong> white bodies of Adam and Evecovering<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir nakedness, <strong>the</strong>ir bodily shame. . .<br />

<strong>The</strong> side of American paper money engraved and pnnted 1~ bt~ck<br />

symbolically (and unconsciously) represents <strong>the</strong> black (melanm. ptgmented)<br />

skin that <strong>the</strong> albinos or whites should have possessed, were lt not<br />

d<br />

for <strong>the</strong>ir genetic defect of albinism (<strong>the</strong> reason for which <strong>the</strong>y were<br />

originally cast out of Africa by <strong>the</strong>ir Black mo<strong>the</strong>rs and fa<strong>the</strong>rs).<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>r, it is no accident in <strong>the</strong> present day capital of <strong>the</strong> global white<br />

supremacy system- Washing<strong>to</strong>n, D.C- that <strong>the</strong> vast majority of <strong>the</strong><br />

people in <strong>the</strong> city are Black and that <strong>the</strong> paper money is printed by a large<br />

majority of Black workers. In o<strong>the</strong>r words, Black backs are producing<br />

"green backs," which could equally be referred <strong>to</strong> as "black backs." For<br />

in <strong>the</strong> minds of <strong>the</strong> white collective, whites should have black backs<br />

instead of white backs and <strong>the</strong>y should not need green backs <strong>to</strong> cover w bite<br />

backs. A similiar realization causes whites <strong>to</strong> tan, as though <strong>the</strong> hue<br />

achieved through tanning is "supposed" <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong>ir true color.<br />

This decoding allows <strong>the</strong> slang (in this sense, symbolic) expression,<br />

frequently used by Blacks in America, "Give me some skin," <strong>to</strong> be placed<br />

in a more meaningful perspective. On <strong>the</strong> surface level this expression<br />

means, give me your hand - skin <strong>to</strong>uching skin - <strong>to</strong> shake, as a greeting.<br />

At yet ano<strong>the</strong>r level <strong>the</strong> implication is: "Give me some money."<br />

Blacks living amongst <strong>the</strong> white collective have internalized unconsciously<br />

<strong>the</strong> symbolic equation of paper money with <strong>the</strong> covering for <strong>the</strong><br />

degraded white skin. In fact, albinism is <strong>the</strong> origin for <strong>the</strong> unconscious<br />

development of this white equation of paper money with skin.<br />

In <strong>the</strong>ir book, Money Madness, Herb Goldberg and Robert T. Lewis<br />

state:<br />

Studies of self-made wealthy men, for example, show an extremely<br />

high incidence of parental death and parental divorce, which resulted<br />

in a high degree of insecurity early in life. Many of <strong>the</strong>se men, as<br />

young boys, apparently set out <strong>to</strong> amass so much money that <strong>the</strong>y<br />

would never be left stranded again. <strong>The</strong>y also were faced with<br />

assuming adult responsibility while still children, and <strong>the</strong>y tried <strong>to</strong><br />

prove <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>mselves and o<strong>the</strong>rs <strong>the</strong>y didn't really need <strong>to</strong> depend on<br />

parents.<br />

Does this not parallel <strong>the</strong> experience of <strong>the</strong> rejected albino mutants who<br />
